It is an emotional, firsthand account written by the famed playwright when his beloved dog, Silverdene Emblem O'Neill ("Blemie"), was dying. The piece highlights themes of unconditional love, the wisdom of animals in accepting death, and the enduring bond between humans and their pets. The 1972 publication by Achille J. St. Onge in Worcester is notable as a specialized miniature edition of this enduring, heartfelt, and sentimental, yet poignant piece of literature. It is written from the dog's perspective, famously stating, "No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you and not all the power of death can keep my spirit from wagging a grateful tail". Known for being a "balm" or comfort for those experiencing the loss of a pet. The work is considered a rare, intimate look at the tender side of a man best known for his despairing and pessimistic, albeit genius, theatrical works.
