So I was thinking today about loyalty and what it means. And while I was doing this I happened to stubble upon a quote “A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.” This got me thinking about my own dog and the truth behind this quote. A dog is the only thing that loves you for you. It never is angry at you for long. It trusts you with its life and would gladly give up it's own for your safety. To me these animals, which are so kind to us and ask nothing in return, are the worlds last true example of unconditional love and loyalty. So here it is the worlds truest friends.

Dogs are awesome!
Screw cats!
The only thing my brothers cat did for me was scratching my hand so bad it didn't stop bleeding.
Really, caring for other people like that is the only way to be happy. I've noticed that those who put themselves first are never, ever satisfied with their lives, and it makes sense when you think about it. It's kind of like living your life on blood money. You can't live selfishly like that without either (a) being forever alone, or (b) stepping on others to get what you want. Usually both. When a person like this dies, he dies full of regrets, whether he'll admit to them or not.
On the flipside, someone who lives for others is always happy as long as he can make the people around him happy. He gives love and receives love in return. He's the guy everyone knows they can trust, the guy who you know has got your back. And everyone's got his in return. This is the guy who everyone goes out of their way to help, because he's done so much for them already. This is the guy who everyone adores and cares about. This is the guy who lives and dies without a single regret or a scrap of guilt. And through all that, he's humble, and never lets it go to his head.
24paperwings, judging from some of your posts, you seem like that kind of guy yourself (you are a guy, right?). Do yourself a favor and stay that way.
That reminds me. On a somewhat similar note, I think you'll like this. You'll have to set aside 3 hours of your time for it, but trust me, it is REALLY worth it:

best. animals. evar!!
I used to have a dog before them called Trudie, I loved that dog so much, I'd had her since I was 5 years old, and she was there not long after my parents divorced. She was there when my dad had to go away on business to cheer me up, she used to lie on the floor and let me use her as a cushion and she always knew how to cheer me up if I'd had a bad day, mainly by chasing her tail until she managed to corner it against a wall and then looking at me like she was so proud of herself :). I still miss her as much as I did when she died on 14th March 2005, 6 years ago... She really was my best friend :'(
I hate stupid people who hit animals. Stupid world being so mean to the nice dogs. I hate it when this kind of thing happens. May she rest in piece and eat all the bacon she can in heaven.
But yeah, I'm gonna be devastated when my other 4 dogs die. :'(
Hence this picture! I love my puppy :)
Haha, go for it, you have permission to caption a picture of my dog ;)
I love my dog, he's the best dog ever. He's my brother, y'know?
