One of the greatest gifts that a German Shepherd dog can offer a human is its joyful devotion. No living creature will give you more steadfast, abiding love. Fairly treated, dogs are among the world's most joyful creatures and their joy can bring pleasure to anyone who sees them. A
sad, lonely, bewildered dog, tied outside its owner's house, wondering why it cannot be with its family, brings only sadness and unhappiness to the world. A dog wants to be your happy, devoted, accepted companion. Unless you can accept a dog's offer of this great gift, please do not get a dog. |
