When I am hurt by a human I do not seek solace in the embrace of a human, I seek my comfort from my dogs, for they know the true essence of absolution that only they can give. They seek not to find your wrong doings, they seek not a reason to blame you, that seek not revenge or to trump you, they seek not to make you feel flawed just for amusement or to raise themselves from a low place they have found themselves in, they do seek only to adore you and ask for so little beyond their basic needs, tenderness, nurturing, and a stroke of your hand upon their furry heads in return for their immeasurable lifetime devotion.

Dogs Don't Know Hate
I have had reservations about what kind of human I am because to me dogs are more sensitive, devoted, faithful, and more loving than most humans. I truly believe that dogs are superior in their ability to forgive and to trust again someone that once hurt them in some way; ironic, and almost insane, to even say the words, but it is what my heart feels with every pump of blood to my mind where it is seems insane to even conceive the notion, but with my very being and conviction, I would place more trust in dogs and reason dogs are more humane than humans for they know no hate.

How true! And you don't have to skeak a word.
Pets are wonderful (I include cats in my view). They are so pure. Take cats for example. Completely and utterly self-absorbed. But at least they are honest about it. "Hey, this is who I am. I am a cat. I love you, but only after I love myself. Now feed me." There is no hidden agenda with pets. And they don't judge you. They just love you.
It couldn't have been said better. All of my dogs, even "baby brat", who thinks she's a cat, show me their devotion all the time. When it comes out the most is when something makes me cry. They surround me, quietly, and just rest their heads or their whole bodies one me to let me know they are here for me. The down side is when I try to do floor excercises, they try to "rescue" me from what they think is a fall. One of my favorite sayings is, "I'd like to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am". Something to aim for.
Very True. I know I can rely on Peanut when I have a bad day to not judge or anything. In fact last Friday when I had a last minute interview with a radio station in Baltimore, Peanut looked at me as I went out the door as if to say "good luck and I love you." My boyfriend, who was trying to be my life coach, was kind of making me feel pretty crappy. I know he wasn't trying to, but sometimes I just want him to say good luck.
