I like my dog better than most humans I know. He doesn’t judge, he’s loyal and won’t stab you in the back, and I think he’d probably die for me.
Trust me, your dog IS better than most humans you meet. I know mine are (and two of them are Chihuahuas, not exactly the most sociable breed, but Mrs. Spook loves them).
“My” dog is a Basset Hound. Loveable, loyal and always ready for a pit stop at Krispy Kreme.
