Gold and White

With the exception of women, there is nothing on earth so agreeable or necessary to the comfort of man as the dog.                                            


                                                ~Edward Jesse, Anecdote of Dogs

I think we are drawn to dogs because they are the uninhibited creatures we might be if we weren't certain we knew better.  They fight for honor at the first challenge......and they do not for all their marvelous instincts appear to know about death.  Being such wonderfully uncomplicated beings, they need us to do their worrying.
