Such longing in those canine eyes,
Such joy in wagging tail,
Great sorrow as he leaves the house
On return, love without fail.
Emotion's cycle magnified
And no need to deny
The depth of feeling whether
It be low or it be high.
Separated, whole again
Is played out every day.
The title of Best Friend of Man
Is here and here to stay.
"Remember, one who enjoys more is bound to suffer more because he becomes very sensitive. But suffering is not bad. If you understand it rightly, suffering is a cleansing. If you understand it rightly, sadness has a depth to it which no happiness can ever have." Osho
