The dogs in our lives, the dogs we come to love and who (we fervently believe) love us in return, offer more than fidelity, consolation, and companionship. They offer comedy, irony, wit, and a wealth of anecdotes, the "shaggy dog stories" and "stupid pet tricks" that are commonplace pleasures of life. They offer, if we are wise enough or simple enough to take it, a model for what it means to give your heart with little thought of return.

An awesome dog like you, Buddy, deserves an awesome family. You got, my friend!
We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words. Anna Sewell, author of Black Beauty
A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. Josh Billings, US humorist

I think your human is awesome, too, Buddy; you are a lucky dog!
