"He is
my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the
winds. He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea. He has told me a
thousand times over that I am his reason for being; by the way he rests against
my leg; by the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he shows
his hurt when I leave without taking him. (I think it makes him sick with worry
when he is not along to care for me.) When I am wrong, he is delighted to
forgive. When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile. When I am happy, he is joy
unbounded. When I am a fool, he ignores it. When I succeed, he brags. Without
him, I am only another man. With him, I am all-powerful. He is loyalty itself.
He has taught me the meaning of devotion. With him, I know a secret comfort and
a private peace. He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant.
His head on my knee can heal my human hurts. His presence by my side is
protection against my fears of dark and unknown things. He has promised to wait
for me... whenever... wherever - in case I need him. And I expect I will - as I
always have. He is just my dog." - Gene Hill
