A Love Story
A Love Story
By Herm Sherwood-Sitts

When she walks into a room, all eyes are on her.
Her beautiful blond hair and gorgeous dark eyes make even the hardest of hearts melt.
As she walks, her lines are true, with a touch of show girl swagger.
Her jewelry tells the story of who she is and where she comes from.
We meet in the center of the room. I stroke her beautiful hair and we exchange soft kisses on the cheek.
She is my confidant; she knows me better than anyone and never judges my faults.
For the last few years, our shadows have rarely been apart.
Perhaps, that is why my wife is a little jealous of her.
Because you see, until you have received the unconditional love of a German Shepherd, you haven’t been truly loved.

Definitely illustrates why dogs are a man's best friend! But they can also be a woman's best friend, a child's best friend, and sometimes a whole family for someone who lives alone. And not just German Shepards, but any kind of dog, and often cats too, and other pets who become a part of our family and sometimes like a 'soul mate'. There is no more true an example of unconditional love than the love a devoted pet can give when they are treated with loving care by their person. Thanks for sharing your lovely poetic short story about the human-animal bond, Herm! I'm glad that you have such a true love in your life! :-)
