The pure love of a dog

There are so many problems and difficulties in life at the moment, but yesterday I dopped over to Arnold to the family home to see dad and Ned.

Ned is the most wonderful little Jack Russell and I like to think he is my best friend. We have a ritual to go through when I visit. I always have 2 chew sticks in my handbag ready for him to pinch from me and munch through which is his first task as I walk through the door.

Once he’s done that he jumps back up and sort of sits next to me and lays his head into my hands and gets a cuddle for a few minutes. During those few minutes there is a really strong connection between us and I like to think we share our feelings of love and trust for each other.

Finally he will either lay down at the side of me and sleep or he’ll go off and lay in the sun soaking up the warmth.

Dog owners all over the world will know and share this connection and understand just how special and how pure it is.
