“A dog only got hurt if its love was repudiated, intentional or not, though it never had long to feel true sorrow in response because it never held its love back, regardless of reciprocation; the dog just tried to love you more. No other distractions such as work, home, friendships, or lovers – just the insistence of undying and unwavering affection in the truest sense of the word – asking for only a fraction of what it gave.”
