64. I feel sorry for the people whose lives have not been touched by the love and companionship

Mon Jan 7, 2013, 10:40 PM

of a canine. Isn't it amazing how many ways their lives have added so much to ours that we can never repay all they do for us. It is actually been proven that even just petting a sweet dog will lower our blood pressure. I believe they are angels on earth. Thank you so much for posting such a great story. I immediately felt the dust storm that seems to be going around tonight.
