Dog Advice? WWYD?

[Bailey Guns]

I'm not going to call you names because we disagree. I will try to explain why a dog, to me, isn't "just a dog".

Every dog I've had has provided me companionship that most people can't or won't. My dogs were always happy to lay in my lap or go on a great "adventure" at a moment's notice. They don't judge. They don't hold grudges. They generally want only the most basic of things that I'm able to provide. They don't care what I look like, what my political views are, what kind of car I drive, how much money I make. Their love isn't tied to any conditions other than I don't hurt them.

They are not the same as a prairie dog or a deer or any other animal...at least a non-domesticated animal. If I have to explain why, well...just think about it.

It's really a shame you feel the way you do about dogs. Not so much for the dog, but for you. You're missing out on one of the most wonderful things this world has to offer.

I know all that sounds very cliche but dog people will get it.
