Emily's beloved Newfoundland dog, Carlo, passes away. 

Emily Dickinson recieved her dog as a gift, in fall 1849, from her father. It's assumed he did so because he wanted her to have a companion on her frequent walks in the woods. 

Carlo is mentioned in letters nad some poems by Dickinson, and she often discussed how intelligent she thought he was. 

Her inspiration for naming him Carlo came from Jane Eyre, her supposed favorite novel at the time.
