Just A Dog
by Richard Biby
From "the Versatile Hunting Dog" Magazine, Feb. 2006
From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or, " that's a lot
of money for just a dog."
They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs
involved for "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 saddest moments have been brought about by "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 will 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 or woman."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog," just smile, because they
"just don't understand."
