@matthew.dicks: The most brutal part of loving a dog is knowing you will almost certainly outlive them. We rush through the 2 AM wake-ups, the inconveniences, and the rainy walks, never realizing when we are doing them for the very last time. Homework for Life isn't just a storytelling exercise. It is a lens that forces you to pause, pay attention, and capture the profound beauty of these ordinary days so you can hold onto the pets and the people you love long after they're gone. #dogsoftiktok #rainbowbridge #storytelling #homeworkforlife #storyworthy

Matthew Dicks | Storyteller :

It has been years, and the reality is that I still miss this little dog every single day.

ChristyJam :

Love your story! I have two Lhasa apso’s 🥰🥰

🌷Lyss🌷 :

My best friend who loved to dance in the rain with me. I miss him all the time.

runredrunner :

You are a magnificent storyteller

Hana Cali 🐕🌺 :

I will always let my dog pick up a stick on her walk. Sticks make her happy. It’s her way of stalling going home and time to play. There are broken sticks all over where there aren’t even trees because of her 🥰🐕

Vibe_god :

All I do is cry on this fuckass app

MotherofPawz Bisan’sVers. 🇵🇷 :

Your 2 am pee walk and heart boxers will save your life one day. Just as Carl.

Foxphyre :

Your pet is a chapter in your life, but in theirs, you're their whole book.

littlebrokenghost :

Tamara :

My heart hound Oscar… this was our last walk to the beach.. he loved to do the “ zoomies” up and down the beach… thank you for bringing the memories back. 🙏🏻💖💕

Lady J :

I was standing right there next to you.

iamtheseeker64 :

You were so lucky

Angie Santana :

our bond with animals is so profound that it’s so beyond our human relations

Leesaw :

When I walk Kensi, there’s a stretch of grass that goes on for a block. In that time she wants to stop and smell all the smells. I dont get three steps in between her stops. It takes soo long to get through that. Its annoying sometimes but i see how happy she is and know I should be patient. She deserves that. Dogs are the best. ❤️

Little Dark One :

Your story is a sad parody of the start of Dungeon Crawler Carl. 😭

Yellow Viffer :

The sooner you realize that you GET to take care of your dog and don’t HAVE to take care of them, the better it gets.

Sunflower :

Why are you making me cry at 7am 😭

Christian Patriot 1776 :

No, the best part of the story is that you took us all there, in the moment to feel it to experience it for ourselves and to remind all of us to live for moments like this. THAT is the hallmark of great storytelling.

Scott :

So sorry for your loss
