A man and his dog.

I love this photo so much because it shows a joy in both subjects. How many of you have been in this situation. Labs don't have a very good regard for personal space and if you have a lab I am sure you have been soaked while playing fetch by the river. Their disregard for personal space and social etiquette​ allows them to be there and get in your face at the exact moments you need contact. God did a good thing when he made our animals. That spark of love, their intuition, their need for closeness, or their​ compassion, whatever it is we are lucky to have it on our team during our lowest of lows but also to celebrate our highest of highs.

To love someone deeply gives you strength; being loved by someone deeply gives you courage. - Lao-Tzu
