Letter to the editor: Prayers for Otis' killer(s)

To the editor:

My rage over the untimely and unnatural demise of the dog, Otis, of West Gloucester, having subsided, I suggest we all follow the example of Paul Langone (Massachusetts General Hospital) and pray for the soul or souls of whoever committed this atrocity and commiserate with all those who knew and loved Otis.

Is it possible to love someone you have never met? Donne wrote that "every man's death diminisheth me."

May a dog have earned that sentiment?
