dog." They don't understand the distance "just a
traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for
passed and my only company was "just a dog,"
"just a dog." Some of my proudest moments have
come about with "just a dog." Many hours have
passed and my only company was "just a dog,"
but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my gentle
saddest moments have been brought about by
reason to overcome the day.
"just a dog," and in those days of darkness, the
gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and
reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will
probably understand phrases like "just a friend,"
"just a sunrise," or " just a promise." "Just a dog"
brings into my life the very essence of friendship,
trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a dog" brings
out the compassion and patience that makes me
a better person. Because of "just a dog" I rise
early, take long walks and look longingly to the
future. So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a
dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and
dreams of the future, the fond memories of the
past, and the pure joy of the moment. "Just a dog"
brings out what's good in me and diverts my
thoughts away from myself and the worries of the
day.        
I hope that someday they can understand that it's
not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me
humanity and keeps me from being "just a man."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog,"
just smile, because they "just don't understand."
