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 traveled,
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 will 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 it's 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".
