          "Just A Dog"



          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 make 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."
