Directly beneath the Presidio Parkway overpass, a small plot of land in the Presidio holds the remains of over 400 beloved pets. While the cemetery doesn’t have the tidy rows you might imagine, it’s still beautiful. It’s raw and overgrown, with big bushes of white and magenta flowers and charming wooden grave markers peeking out of the greenery. Its grave markers often contain sweet anecdotes about the pet being memorialized. One headstone has a poem about Raspberry, the basset hound. “It’s true, my basset has gone away. I know we had to part, but she’ll be with me every day within my loving heart.” Another reads, “Frodo was a good turtle.” Another simply says, “We know love, we had this little dog.” 🎧 Listen to the full #BayCurious episode at the link in our bio.
