Oops - Pinot's Mom got it! (We were posting at the same time!)


The answer is:


More than any other creature, dogs have infiltrated the very fabric of our lives; they are our most trusted and loyal friends, quick to forgive, eager to please, and always a listening ear. They do not judge us, they entertain us, and they provide comfort. Their companionship and sensitivity, intelligence, apparent empathy with human emotions, and even humor have contributed toward a unique canine/human bond, one that is precious and often underestimated.
