Well.....it's hard to be SOME dogs. It's not hard to be this dog.

I used to say that dogs lives are so awesome. Imagine everywhere you go everybody is just happy to see you. They don't want money from you. They aren't looking to use you, or take advantage of you. They just love you for you. And they'd love to come show you affection. Just for existing.

That's what I used to say until someone told me "You're thinking of the family pet dog. But you're forgetting two things. Number one not all humans treat their family pet well. Some people abuse their dogs. And number two, you also forget the fact that not all dogs are family pets, or even have homes. Some are out in freezing cold and starving. Completely feral."

And he was right. I DID forget those two things. THOSE dogs have a hard life.

But this guy? Nothing but love, naps and treats for this good boi.
