From time to time people tell me, "Come on, it's just a dog," or, That's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, time spent, or costs involved for "Just a dog." Some of my proudest moments have come about with "Just a dog." Many hours have passed with my only company being "Just a dog and not once have I felt lonely. Many times the gentle touch of "Just a dog" provided comfort and purpose to the day.
If you, too, think its "Just a dog," you will probably 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 joy. "Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person. Because of "Just a dog", I rise earlier, take long walks and experience the joy of the moment.
I hope that someday people can understand it's not "Just a dog." It's the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "Just a man or woman."
So the next time I hear the phrase "Just a dog," I will smile, because they "Just Don't Understand."
