A dog can love its owner more than it loves itself.
Dogs are angels in canine form. I have a golden retriever who I got thru a local rescue association. He is a better man than I am in every way.
A bumper sticker my friend told me about says it best: "Be the person your dog thinks you are."
Dogs are freakin' awesome.
Roberto,
My aunt has a version of your bumper sticker that might be more apropos for this group. "Lord, help me be the person my dog thinks I am." That's a good aspiration for the religious and non-religious alike.
