I can’t take my dog for a walk on the beach because it bothers you and disrupts your vacation. I’m not allowed to rent a house if I have a dog, and public transportation is off-limits, too. But when disaster strikes, I can bring my dog to search through the rubble after an earthquake. I can bring them into the woods to find you when you get lost in the mountains without a map or GPS. My dog will dig through snow to save you when you’ve taken a dangerous detour off-track. Or dive into the water when, despite the warnings, you’ve ignored the red flag and entered the sea, risking your life.
Yes, it’s “just a dog”—but that dog will find you, and it will save you.
Dedicated to those who don’t understand the love for dogs!
