I know: your dog is special. Your dog doesn't need to be leashed. Your dog isn't dangerous. And your dog would never bark continuously for hours when you leave it locked inside all day. And the thousands of dollars you spend on food and medical bills each year are totally worth the unconditional love your receive in return.Your dog is your baby, Your dog needs you. As you need your dog. If you were to die, your dog would almost certainly die of a broken heart instead of attaching to someone else almost immediately. Your dog would never shit on the sidewalk, and if it did you would be sure to scoop that poop. And that is how I'll always think of you: kneeling, holding your dog's shit, while your dog stares at you, wagging its tail.
