Dogs Dogs. They love you more than themselves. On the good days and bad, a welcome bark and paws on our lap will always help. Rich or poor, healthy or sick, right beside you, they will stick. They'll give you some of your happiest days, where they always put you first. And when they leave, it'll be one of your very worst. When all they ask for is your love and care, a small price to pay, is a house full of mud and hair. With their chewed up toys, not forgetting a ball. If loyalty made us live longer, then dogs would outlive us all.
