One can't forget his beloved dog, of course. Even if people wanted to. All dressed now, Regulus stood up and have Barty a bright smile. "I'm still hoping that dog has many years left in him. He's a fighter." Sadly. Unfortunately. He was not a nice dog but Regulus seemed to think so. "It's enough to me. What we have now. I don't want to change it."

Or lose it. Or anything like that.
