A dog has no use for fancy cars, or big
homes, or designer
clothes. Status symbol means
nothing to him. A waterlogged stick will do juust fine. A dog
judges others not by their color or creed or class but by who
they are inside. A dog doesn't
care if you are rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or
dull. Give him your heart & he
will give you his. It was really quite simple, & yet we
humans, so much wiser & more sophisticated have always had
trouble figuring out what really counts & what does not. As I
wrote that farewell column to Marley, I realized it was all right
there in front of us, if only we opened our eyes. Sometimes it took
a dog with bad breath, worse manners, & pure intentions to help
us see."
