Affectionate, muddle-headed, eager and enthusiastic, the dog is and always has been a friend in every season of my life, I am moved by all dogs and they all make me smile; I watch them all young or old, beautiful or ugly, city or farm dogs, with or without pedigree, All give their hearts intensely and innocently. Our idiotic human dilemmas mean nothing to a dog, and this allows us to open our hearts to them.
