Since this is the Best Of edition of this magazine, what better time than now to share some of the best words honoring our Best Friends.
If you think your dog is the best dog, you are correct! The love of a human and their animal is arguably equal to the love between a parent and their human child. Animals can be loving, nurturing, playful and loyal.
There’s lots to be said about man’s best friend — here are just a few thoughts about them. The idea behind this is to make you smile and to celebrate the special bond between you and your beloved pet.
Feel free to share these thoughts with someone who’s heart needs a belly rub:
