What really is a dog?

A dog changes you.

Trust me, I know. I can write at length how Zeus changed me after coming into my life. For that matter, any animal's presence into your life can change you. Trust me, at one point I had a pet lizard, imagine that. Not very obedient but would come by and lurk around on walls quite often to not be afraid of me.

Anyway, help me spread the word about adopting of Brownie here. Trust me, she'll make some person's life better.
