There's No Such Thing As A Bad

It's Just The Most Amazing Thing To Love A Dog, Isn't It? It Makes Our Relationships With People Seem As Boring As A Bowl Of Oatmeal.

A Dog Is The Greatest Gift A Parent Can Give A Child. Ok, A Good Education, Then A Dog.

Many Of The Qualities That Come So Effortlessly To Dogs - Loyalty, Devotion, Selflessness, Unflagging Optimism, Unqualified Love - Can Be Elusive To Humans.

In A Dog's Life, Some Plaster Would Fall, Some Cushions Would Open, Some Rugs Would Shred. Like Any Relationship, This One Had Its Costs. They Were Costs We Came To Accept And Balance Against The Joy And Amusement And Protection And Companionship He Gave Us.

He Taught Us The Art Of Unqualified Love. How To Give It, How To Accept It. Where There Is That, Most Other Pieces Fall Into Place.
