There are few expressions of joy that rival that of a happy dog playing in freshly-fallen leaves! And there are few bonds as strong and lasting as the bond between man and dog. For thousands of years we have looked to our pets for companionship and protection, and for thousands of years they have been happy to oblige while asking little in return. Loyalty,
compassion and unconditional love–there’s a lot to be said for seeing the world through the eyes of a happy dog!
