A Boy and his Dog

Is there anything better than seeing a boy and his dog. Nolan came home from school on Friday really upset, he had been teased at school and for a 10 year old was having a bad day. Later that night he curled up on the couch still sad and the dogs jumped up to be by his side. It's amazing how dogs know when your upset and in need of some extra lovin. They stayed by his side all night and he slept like a baby as did they. The next morning he got up and hugged them for about an hour then he was feeling great and was ready to start his day. He looked at me and said "My life would be sad without my dogs". I agreed, I know all to well how healing they can be, no matter what's wrong, some major doggie love makes it all better. Why is that? Is there any better feeling than being surrounded by pure, uncritical, unselfish, Love...
