I have shed tears for dogs, cats, and horses.

Never shed a tear for a human. Not sure why? Figured that was God's business.

That said, I have done a lot of praying for humans.

It’s the suffering of animals that gets me.

We humans, we can learn and grow from our suffering, but a dog, all it knows is the pain.

I could forgive a human for hurting me, I could never forgive them for hurting a dog unnecessarily.

I have cried for a cat, and a number of dogs.

I cried when I lost my dad, a lot, even though we didn’t get along. I thought I would be happy when he was gone, but I was wrong.

I cried for my grandma, his mom, when she died. She was a good woman, and she died a violent death by car accident. She didn’t deserve to go that way. That was sad.

But when I lost my shepherd of 14 years, Grainger, it split me in half. I looked in his eyes as he was put down. That was harder than anything ever.

Grown man bawlin’ like a child. Couldn’t even help it. Damn, I love that dog.
