Now and then someone says to me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or "that's a lot of money for just a dog."
They don't grasp the miles traveled, the hours given, or the expense that goes into "just a dog." Some of my proudest moments have arrived with "just a dog."
Many hours have gone by with only "just a dog" for company, yet I never felt overlooked. Some of my saddest days have come through "just a dog," and in that darkness the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and a reason to face the day.
If you think it's "just a dog," then you likely understand phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."
"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a dog" draws out the compassion and patience that make me a better person. Because of "just a dog" I rise early, take long walks, and look forward with hope.
So for me and folks like me, it isn't "just a dog" but the embodiment of hopes and dreams ahead, fond memories behind, and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and turns my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand it isn't "just a dog" but the very thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a woman/man."
