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

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
