I’m very fond of my dogs, but I wouldn’t lay my life down for them.

But they would die for you.

That's why I love dogs.

They would die for my neighbor just as easily if he took care of them, or my worst enemy. Their willingness to put themselves in harm’s way has nothing to do with me personally; it’s animal instinct, and while I appreciate the benefits of it, I don’t feel the need to reciprocate.
