83. Man's Best Friend p. 60

 

    Of all the animals of the Chinese horoscope, the dog really stands out. Which other animal can compare
to the dog? The horse? No, he\'s always horsing around. The monkey? No, he\'s always monkeying around.
    The dog is a loyal companion. He makes us feel safe. He helps us keep thieves out of our homes. The dog
has also helped us with our English. For example, if there were no dogs, how could people complain about
leading a dog\'s life? And how could the weath.mp3an say, "It\'s raining cats and dogs?"
    The dog is truly man\'s best friend. So the next time a dog lifts a leg to your car, don\'t get angry.
Just let it obey the call of nature.
