A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water-logged stick will do just fine.
A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary?”
~John Grogan, Marley & Me
