From time to time, people tell me, โlighten up, itโs just a dog,โ
or โthatโs a lot of money for just a dog.โ
But some of my proudest moments have come about with โjust a dog.โ
Many hours have passed and my only company was โjust a dog,โ but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by
โjust a dog,โ and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch
of โjust a dogโ gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
โJust a dogโ brings into my life the very essence of friendship,
trust, and pure unbridled joy.
โJust a dogโ brings out the compassion and patience. that make a better person.
So for me and folks like me, itโs not โjust a dogโ
but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future,
the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
โJust a dogโ brings out whatโs good in me and diverts my thoughts
away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that itsโ not โjust a dogโ
but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being
โjust a manโ or โjust a woman.โ
So the next time you hear the phrase โjust a dog,โ
just smile, because they โjust donโt understand.โ โค๏ธ
