Myrick, 37, needs to grow up. Just get another dog. Duh! Some people have too much free time to worry about silly things.

Here is a nice tribute to dogs from a newspaper in 1888:

THE FAITHFUL FRIEND

When Adam was driven out of Paradise, all the animals that had formerly delighted to follow him fled at his approach.

In deep sorrow he sat down upon a stone, and covered his face with his hands.

Soon he heard a rustling in the bushes, and felt a soft tongue gently trying to lick his face.

He looked up and met the liquid eyes of a dog, brimming over with affection and compassion for his fallen master.

And Adam was comforted; for he found there was still one creature that forsook him not, but preferred his company to a life of wild liberty.

And ever since the dog has been of all animals “the friend of man.”
