The best of friends

I recently read a post about someone who lost their dog. I felt myself begin to cry as I read the many comments of love from her friends and family. That's what a dog is...a friend and family. It is so very hard to lose a pet, because they become part of your life in a way you can't explain. I count on my pups when I am feeling like crap and need someone to listen and not talk. They are my inspiration to go for a walk around the block and thoroughly enjoy it!!! They always want to have dinner with me and are never to busy to play catch in the backyard. Many people find their lives to be insignificant and claim that dogs do not have spirits. I look into my dogs eyes, and I see their spirits. They experience feelings just like us! They can be mad or happy and sometimes even sad. They feel the pain of rejection or love from hugs and kisses. Take a moment to sit and look into the eyes of a dog and you will find their inner human. It's innocence in its purest form. In many ways a dog is far more emotionally advanced than we humans. They possess the ability to love us unconditionally for what we are and what we are not. One day they leave us for a better place, but their love and devotion remains.
