ON A MALTESE WATCH-DOG by TYMNES

First Line: HERE THE STONE SAYS IT HOLDS THE WHITE DOG
Last Line: VOICE IS PRISONED IN THE SILENT PATHWAYS OF NIGHT.
Subject(s): ANIMALS; DEATH - ANIMALS; DOGS; EPITAPHS;
HERE the stone says it holds the white dog from Melita, the most faithful

voice is prisoned in the silent pathways of night.
