Let's face it, we as humans do not deserve dogs. These wonderful creatures can teach us so much and I know my best friend Anne has taught me a bunch in our lives together. Devotion, selflessness, forgiveness, compassion, loyalty, nonjudgemental, and the list goes on. Kiss and hug your puppers today because they give so much in their short lives. Here's to an early 13th birthday to my dog, Black Anne!
