So who was the first great canine love of YOUR life?

Dogs. They usually get a smile outta me. I can’t help it.

Over the years, I’ve oftentimes come to the same conclusion:

Dogs are nicer than people.

Then, the other day, out of the blue… I came upon this awesome quote attributed to Andy Rooney, “The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.”

note to self: agreed. Hmm… think I’ll add that one to my email signature….

Anyhow… flash forward to this afternoon, when on NPR they featured this op ed piece. Yes, please listen. And then tell us. Because you know this will be a great story. Plus, sometimes we could all use a good cry.

If only these loyal friends would live longer…
