I don’t put much stock in the dog vs. cat debate, but I know that dogs love me more than cats do. And the feeling is mutual.

There’s literally nothing better than being greeted by a dog at the end of a long day.

I’ve known only two dogs very well in my life. Both have been true and loyal companions, true friends in that I could always depend on their affection and they could always depend on mine.

One day, I’ll write more extensively about one or both of them. But every once in a while I think back at these relationships that never failed me, and I smile.
