The core of a dog's character is found in the courage to protect man in the face of danger. You expect little from man yet comfort him and are there in time of need. A dog's faithfulness is a friendship held together deep within the hearts of man. A dog continues to grow throughout his life giving his strength and hope and compassion to man. A dog is like an angel that walks with man on earth keeping him in step with God's light. The heart of a dog is his gift to mankind. A dog heart forgives all and emerges with a loving soul that is there to please and holds no grudges. The miracle of a dog's promise is the grace he gives to man through God's hand of humanity. Man is truly blessed when a dog's beautiful spirit has touched his life and heart.
