Alone I sit by the door,
Ears perked up, eyes on the floor.
The day drifts slowly, passing by,
I watch the shadows, hear a sigh.
The house is quiet, still and bare,
But I can sense you in the air.
Each creak and rustle makes me leap,
In hopes your footsteps break my sleep.
The sun sinks low, the light grows dim,
Yet still I wait, my patience slim.
For when you come, the world’s made right,
In your embrace, the dark turns bright.
So here I'll stay, with wagging tail,
And dreams of you in every trail.
For in your love, my heart finds home,
No longer do I wait alone.
❤️

This is a review from Maggie & Steve from Dromara

We were at our wits end with our 3 dogs, between continous jumping up, barking at everyone coming into the house or even walking past outside. We had neighbours complaining about the barking also which was the last straw. We weren't enjoying our dogs and they were never relaxed. I got The Dog Heelers number from our Vet Surgery and the difference he has made to our lives, but most importantly the dogs lives is amazing. My husband was sceptical at first but after Joe coming to our home and working with us, he is literally amazed by the turn around in their behaviour and the calmness they now radiate. Listen to Joe and take his advice.Your dogs will thank you for it. Maggie and Steve.

Argos, the faithful dog of Odysseus, remains one of the most iconic symbols of loyalty in ancient literature.
Its story comes from Homer's Odyssey, an eighth-century BC epic poem that chronicles Odyssey's long and perilous journey as he attempts to return home after the Trojan War. After 20 years of absence filled with battles, shipwrecks and constant death threats, Odyssey finally returns to Ithaca, his homeland, but in disguise. No one recognizes him, not even his family or closest friends. But there is a soul that does.

Argos, his old dog, neglected and weak, lying on a pile of dirt, sees him from afar. Her ears stand up, her tail wags softly. Despite being too weak to stand, she finds the strength to recognize the only one she had waited for all those years.

This short but powerful scene appears in Corner 17 of The Odyssey and has remained as one of the most moving moments in all of literature. Argos, forgotten by all but still clinging to hope, finally sees his master once again. And with that small, quiet moment of joy, let go of life, dying in peace.

It is a testament to the eternal love of dogs: they never forget, never stop hoping, and never stop loving. Argos loyalty is timeless, reminding us that even in the earliest stories, the bond between humans and dogs already seemed sacred. For anyone who has ever loved a dog, this scene touches the heart deeply. It's not about greatness or heroism, it's about the quiet power of devotion.

This plaque in Prague has been rubbed to a shiny gold because for centuries, passersby have touched the dog for good luck, and also to reassure him that he's a good boy.
