I’m sure all of you have a few really close friends. They’ve been there for you through thick and thin. By your side in a fight, offering a ride when you’re in need, or just there at home when it seems like the rest of the world is coming crashing down. Friends are good, but sometimes I believe a different kind of companion would be better, a companion that would always be by your side, ready and willing. The kind of companion I’m thinking of could be any of a wide variety of animals, but I’ve got my eye on one specifically. She pants when the sun stares down at her dark, oily hair. She may be patiently waiting at home for my return right now, just to greet me at the door with such excitement you’d think I had been gone for years. Above all else she is a loyal and dedicated beast. And those are just the details that everyone lists to you in every run-of-the-mill dog book, but I’m here to tell you the real reasons they coined the term “Man’s best friend”.
This will work if we get some real dogs you have known--we need personal experiences in a piece like this. As you say, avoid the run of the mill.
