In her article “Goody Boy, Beau. Stay”, Anna Quindlen reflects that she learned to “roll with the punches” and to take life as it comes to her by watching her dog Beau grow up. She first developed this claim by talking about how Beau now needs prosthetics and has lost much of his sight and hearing, but still has the ability to recognize the sound “of a leash snapping” and to hide, as it means another trip to the vet. Even though Beau has nearly lost his senses, Quindlen points at how Beau takes it in stride. She also supports this claim with a story of how Beau accidentally rolled into a dead porcupine and had quills in him for weeks, but he persevered through.

He stood out among the forlorn pit bulls and abandoned mutts stuck in cages at the animal shelter in Upper Manhattan: an underfed, 50-pound mix of Labrador and Great Dane with a messy, jet-black coat. David Burke saw him there that Christmastime, in 2011, took him home to the apartment he shares with his daughter, named him Duke and nursed him back to health with regular meals and nighttime romps in Central Park. Duke got his bark back. He found his legs. He chased tennis balls and sniffed out raccoons and, after four years with the Burke family, filled out his frame with an extra 40 pounds — a long way from the dog that rescuers had said was found dumped along the side of the Mosholu Parkway, in the Bronx.
