Julie, what I get from the dobes, no human could match. Their affection is unconditional and they don't care that I have no money nor assets.
Jan, the lurcher and whippet catch a natural, healthy and readily available source of protein and bring it unmarked to me. I can't elaborate more than that as I'll end up in the doghouse with the OP. However, it's legal and above board and what they don't eat we swap for dog meat from the butcher. We have even managed to swap for sirloins and chicken.

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion
