I know the mood in here is generally light, but on the serious side, there is one picture that so perfectly encapsulates the relationship between person and dog. I'm not a person who just writes off cats as being crappy (although I am allergic to them), but there are simply things about a dog that no other animal can do. I think they are the most empathetic animals, they always know how their owner is feeling. My grandfathers dog used to sleep on the top of their bed, by their feet, even when my grandmother was in the hospital. He says the night that my grandmother passed, the dog slept up next to him.
This is the picture I was talking about. It is a rescue worker and his rescue dog after the Oklahoma City bombing. After going through the horrors of the bombing, the worker just needed his furry friend. Maybe I'm just a crazy dog person, but I see a look of understanding on the dogs face.
