Just A Dog

:)Thieved this from another forum I think it's lovely
Sorry if it's in the wrong place xxx
"Just a dog"From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog" or "that's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance travelled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog." Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog." Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog", and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day. If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you probably understand phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise." "Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person. Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog", 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. "Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day. I hope that someday they can understand that its' not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a man" or "just a woman." So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog" just smile, because they "just don't understand."

I've seen something similar before, but it's so very true.
All my "Just a dog" times have been so precious!

First time I've seen this - lump to the throat time. Some people, the "just a dog" people, probably won't ever understand, but we do don't we. Thanks for this.

In a strange way I am pleased she was 'just a dog' to her previous owners, she is a very special wooflet to me
