“No matter how close we are to another person,
few human relationships are as free from strife,
disagreement, and frustration as is the relationship
you have with a good dog.
Few human beings give of themselves to
another as a dog gives of itself.
I also suspect that we cherish dogs because
their unblemished souls make us wish -
consciously or unconsciously -
that we were as innocent as they are,
and make us yearn for a place where innocence
is universal and where the meanness,
the betrayals, and the cruelties of this world are unknown.”
~ Dean Koontz, A Big Little Life: A Memoir of a Joyful Dog
