An elephant and a dog.

I saw this on another blog that I stop in on occasionally, and it made me tear up (in a good way):



Boy, don't we all (creatures great and small) deserve at least one other being who will sit vigil for us when we're hurt or sick - one other soul who cares for us more than any other, and for whom it truly, deeply matters whether we're in their life or not? With a companion to walk the walk each day, whatever it brings - someone we can trust and who loves us just as we are - all the crappy stuff of life is bearable, isn't it?
