#NYTOpinion: It’s hard to know what to do when age brings a faithful companion fear and suffering. “Clark understands that he is old and weak and vulnerable, and it’s hard now to leave him alone with his fears,” Margaret Renkl writes in our Opinion section. “I watch sometimes from the next room when my husband leaves the house and Clark thinks he has been abandoned. Standing next to the door, he folds himself up, lowering his hind quarters gradually, bit by bit, until his aching haunches touch the floor. He slides his front feet forward, slowly, slowly, and he is down.” Clark, Margaret’s beloved 14-year-old dog, is deaf, and he suffers from crippling arthritis. At his checkup last year, the vet had some sobering news: One day, Clark won’t be able to get up. “The very idea is unthinkable,” Margaret writes. Clark has been her family’s protector. “He was the dog of our sons’ childhood, the pillow they sprawled on during Saturday-morning cartoons, the security blanket they returned to after an impossible test or a classroom bully or, later, a broken heart.” @_andrea_morales photographed Clark at home in Nashville.
