In The End, It Doesnt Even Matter

Is it possible for a dog-any dog, but especially a nutty, wildly uncontrollable one like mine-to point humans to the things that really mattered in life? I believe it is. Loyalty. Courage. Devotion. Simplicity. Joy.. 
And the things that do not matter too. 
A dog has no use for fancy cars or big homes or designer clothes. Status symbols mean nothing to him. A water-logged stick will do just as fine as a fluffy pillow.
A dog judges others not by their color or creed or class but by who they are inside. A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his. 
It is really quite simple, and yet we humans, so much wiser and more sophisticated, have always had trouble figuring out what really counts and what does not.

  1. isn't that the quote from marley and me??? i guess you saw the movie then... the better dialog follows after this part that you wrote...

    how many people can you say that about?
    how many people make you feel rare and pure and special?
    how many people can make you feel... extraordinary???

    isnt' that the point of the whole conversation????
