May 25, 2007--The simple tombstone bears a simple message, Adios, Amigo.Â
A closer look reveals the engraved name  Lobo and the date Aug. 10, 1955. This isthe gravesite of Pulitzer Prize winning author MacKinley KantorÂ's dog.
KantorÂ's 1957 book  Lobo is a sentimental and sensitive story about hisrelationship with the animal resting here in the  Peaceable Kingdom in Hartsdale,N.Y.
Hartsdale is one of the oldest pet cemeteries in the country. Its dogs and otherassorted creatures such as cats, snakes, hamsters, alligators, pigs and even a lioncub peacefully share the earth.
Kantor buried Lobo in the Hartsdale cemetery where he rests, in the author'swords"...in the clutch of his adopted land - adopted through choice".
The  Peaceable Kingdom at Hartsdale is named after a painting of animals done by19th century primitive painter Edward HickÂ's. The cemetery is filled with storiesand graves not unlike LoboÂ's.
Mostly, dogs give a lot and ask a little. That kind of devotion breeds dedication. Maybe thatÂ's why so much art through the ages has focused on immortalizing them.
Early-20th century artists like Percival Rosseau became so skilled at depictingsporting dogs in the field that even today RousseauÂ's artwork is some of the mostdesirable of its kind.
Wealthy patrons like Percy Rockefeller invited Rousseau to paint on their estates. RockefellerÂ's dogs even served as models for the artist. He also built a studio forRousseau at Overhills, his private hunting club in Fayetteville, N.C.
Some of RousseauÂ's paintings like  Pointers in the Field and  English Setters inthe Field were made into photogravures and widely circulated. The artist alsoproduced popular dog etchings in the early-1930s and printed his own plates.
On Feb. 13, 2007, Doyle New York featured RousseauÂ's oil,  Two Setters in a CoolingStream on the Grounds of Overhills in its 9th annual Dog in Art Auction. Thepainting sold for $210,000.
