Anyone who has ever had a dog knows the incredible power the dog has over its owner. Once just a glimmer of love has been established, the next step is unconditional love by the dog, the most powerful love possible. Dependency by the owner is then a certainty. The ironic love sorrow cycle ins thus begun. No one captures this entangledment better than Rudyard Kipling in his classic "The Power of the Dog" which concludes with: "...For, when debts are payable, right of wrong, A short-term loan is a bad as a long- So why in Heaven before we are there Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?"
