Why God Put a Dog in Your Life (It's Not What You Think)

Two in the morning, no lights on, standing in the kitchen with a glass of water you don't want. And you hear the nails on the floor behind you, and he comes over and lies down across your feet. Nobody else in the house knows that happened. Nobody ever will. This one's slower than usual. Why a dog only gets about twelve years, and why I've come to think that number is the entire point. The one thing he does with you that no wolf, horse or cat will ever do. And why losing them hurts more than people expect — there's a reason for that, and almost nobody says it out loud.
