A small group of people and two dogs came together in the backyard of Shawn ‘Serpent’ Robinson for paying their final respect to a mongrel called Estate last Saturday.
A bottle of rum along with a pack of cups was kept on a table, and a series of songs from reggae singer Sanchez was played from speaker boxes.
Robinson believes that Estate, who died late last month, was poisoned, and was on the ice for nine days. Robinson stripped himself of his new shirt while he removed Estate from a freezer in his backyard, and tearfully wrapped Estate in it.
Robinson, with the small group of mourners, then sang When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder. Robinson exhaled as he looked at the spot where he buried his “best friend”.
He said that his first dog, Albion, also died a few years ago under questionable circumstances. He stressed that his dogs were his security, as he often sleeps with his doors open.
