Just a dog, right?

Six months after your dog passes you still can’t bear to talk about her/him.
Yet, some may say, she/he was just a dog.

You reach under your bed and stumble across an old toy of hers/hims and burst into tears.
Yet, she/he was just a dog.

After a long and mentally draining day at work, you'd give anything to be able to come home and just cuddle with her.
Yet, she/he was just a dog.

Those who have never owned one, will never get it. That dog, was your friend, cuddle bunny, jogging partner, playmate, anxiety reliever, alarm clock ... etc.

Just a dog, right?
