― A.J. Hartley, Darwen Arkwright and the Peregrine Pact

"You are a dog," said Cheryl to Nanook. 'There is no just about it. Only misunderstanding adults say just a dog and what the heck do they know about anything? Have you looked at their world lately?

Good morning! I woke up early and walked into the living room. My son Eric was asleep on the couch and Nanook asleep on a blanket on the floor next to him. Oh how she loves to stay close to her family!
Whatever you believe about the afterlife and Heaven there are some truths in this little poem I found regarding the loyalty and love of many dogs. Sure just as in humankind there are some exceptions but there is something extraordinary about the love of a faithful pet.
A Dogs Soul
Every dog must have a soul, somewhere deep inside
Where all his hurts and grievances are buried with his pride.
Where he decides the good and bad, the wrong way from the right,
And where his judgement carefully is hidden from our sight.
A dog must have a secret place, where every thought abides,
A sort of close acquaintance that he trusts in and confides.
And when accused unjustly for himself, He cannot speak,
Rebuked, He finds within his soul, the comfort he must seek.
He'll love, tho'he is unloved, and he'll serve tho'badly used,
And one kind word will wipe away the times when he's abused.
Altho' his heart may break in two, his love will still be whole,
Because God gave to every dog an understanding Soul!
