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 phases 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 human."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile....because they "just don't understand."

About Me
Well where to start....I have been playing this game for many years before taking a break & now Im back. I specialize in Siberian Huskies & Rottweilers, obviously, but I also breed my other passions the American Pit Bull Terrier & the Beauceron. If Im not on this game you'll find me on dogzer & World of Warcraft (<--mostly this). I own two rescue dogs, Ice Demon my male Siberian Husky & Kamots my male Dogo Argentino. I'd love to get into dog sports like agility, schutzhund, tracking/search & rescue, etc. but in my area its nearly impossible to find such clubs without being breed specific, so if anyone lives around St. Louis area that can help me, hit me up.
