This describes the relationship between siblings and their dogs, friends and several neighbors on our block. These people need a live dog not memories to make their live's complete. Every time they lose a dog to illness or old age, they swear "That is it, no more dogs." Fortunately, we as neighbors, friends or siblings, tell them that they need a dog now, not later. They listen to us and get another dog. In less than a week, they and the new dog have bonded. They and their new dog are walking together and being introduced to their neighbors.
