"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.”
