I love dogs. Dogs have a history of selfless dedication to their masters, the number of cases of a dog knowingly sacrificing itself to save a human are legion. In WWII, dogs were known to grab thrown enemy handgernades and flee the foxhole with them in their mouths - the dogs knew what a handgernade was, they knew what would happen.
Dogs do not judge us, they expect very little in return for the love and dedication they give. I hope there is a special place in Hell for those who abuse that love, trust and dedication.
There is. Right next to Mohammed the Dog Hater (may he pop and sizzle eternally).
