Someone once said to us, "If tears could tell stories, my pillow could write a book", and beautiful as the thought may have been, wouldn't you rather have your sprightly doggo or moody kitty talk more than anything else in the world?

Or maybe that's the point — their quiet, silent, unconditional and continuous presence in our lives as they watch us cry, laugh, fight and force ourselves upon them as they hesitantly deal with our mollycoddling. It's true, there really is no love better than the kind you feel for your pet, and vice versa. Often being a pet owner can turn you into a better person.
