Here's a reason to have a dog if you need one

Every day I find articles that show how having a dog or any type of pet is beneficial to the owner.  That said, I also find articles that show how loyal, loving, and unselfish our animal companions can be.  Just surfing the net will elicit numerous articles about pets who have "saved" their owners from harm; there are, however, just as many if not more articles that show how cruel and hateful people can be to our animals.  Below is a wonderful article from Britain that illustrates the loyalty and  love a dog has for whoever shows some care and respect to it.  This dog deserves to find a forever home and I hope he does so very soon.
