No need to speak

A good friend of mine recently found out that her dog has Lymphoma. I think it may be difficult for someone who does not have a dog to understand the attachment and connection that can be created. When I found this out it made me think of the connection I have to my dog and how important she is to me. People sometimes say "it's just a do...it's not a human" I think the fact that it's not a human is exactly why a special bond is created. I think sometimes us humans speak to each other when we really don't need to. Dogs are just there. They just love us and don't ask for anything in return. There is a lot to be learn from a relationship with a dog. And it can be so devastating when we are faced with the loss because it's a unique bond that we may not have in any other relationship. Sometimes there is no need to speak, we can just be there and that is enough.
