A Comm for Historymemes

I'm sure there are such pets with names and unknown mystery owners where the pet has achieved the only true form of immortality thus far. There are hundreds of lives in that image, from mining the clay, to the Potter's wheel, and into the fire for countless vessels. Then to get broken and discarded onto one of the mountains of refuse. Only to then be collected and fractured to be sold at a forum, and finally into the hands of a guild artisan placing each one. Slaves then filling the grout and smoothing any sharp edges. The family living out their lives, and for hundreds of years more others living in the house until some great flood or disaster buries the house beyond what could be economically recovered... All presided over by this immortal dog, witness to the fleeting lives of all that passed it by. They, never thinking to take a moment and add their names to the list of the immortal.
