“I’ve learned I’m human because I was so touched by my dog…My dog taught me how to love—love deeper. You know, when my kids were born, you realize a level of love that you never thought you’d have. But, this was a very different experience in that—you know even your kids grow up and move away from you…People wrote me, they said: “Bianca was a really lucky dog”…And every one of them I wrote back and said: ‘No, we were the lucky ones’…She was the best dog, and I’m going to miss her terribly.”

I hate to get sentimental, but I thought Howard nailed it. We all should cherish are dogs, for what, we really can’t be sure. There’s just that little glimmer of love in their eyes that clues you in that they have a thing or two they can teach about compassion. How any weirdo can harm a dog is beyond me.
