Grävlingen vet att han snart ska dö. Han berättar för sina vänner, men när han en morgon plötsligt är borta blir sorgen ändå stor. Medan vinter blir till vår talar de om sin vän och vad han betytt för dem. Det är som om Grävlingen finns kvar genom allt han lärt dem. En vän för alltid handlar om sorg och saknad, kärleken och livet. En trösterik, mångbottnad berättelse för såväl barn som vuxna.

Der Dachs war immer zur Stelle gewesen, wenn eines der Tiere ihn brauchte. Den Frosch hatte er Schlittschuh laufen gelehrt, den Fuchs Krawattenknoten schlingen, und Frau Kaninchen hatte von ihm sein Spezialrezept für Lebkuchen bekommen. Die Tiere reden oft von der Zeit, als Dachs noch lebte. Und mit dem letzten Schnee schmilzt auch ihre Traurigkeit dahin. Es bleibt die Erinnerung an Dachs, die sie wie einen Schatz hüten.
