There is a story about a dog that caught my attention. He is not real but lives only in the imagination and that in itself is not bad. This dog, like most dogs, has fun and is happy with the smallest gesture and welcomes his owner even if he is kicked and the owner has no time or is too sick to look after him.
It is interesting how we keep thinking that nothing is as loyal as a dog while in practice that is certainly not the case and the love for this animal is greater when it is a puppy and behaves cutely than when it is sick or smelly and shakes itself after a rain shower or when it has jumped into a stinking ditch.
Are there still people who bathe their dog like we used to do, something that the animal accepted calmly but did not really like. Then we stood around him with towels yelling: don't shake (what crazy person would have a big dog in the house in the bathtub or shower? Is that to create even more work and believe me it doesn't matter how much shampoo you use the animal still stinks).
Are pink dogs real or are they like pink clouds, soap bubbles, dreams, fantasies that fall apart with a pinprick? When it comes to dreams there is a time for everything, you just have to have a good dose of luck and be at the right place at the right time and know how to recognize happiness even if it looks like a dog or who knows it is the cat with the claws out that jumps on you because the asphalt under its paws has become too hot and the only thing left is an exodus. The best and most loyal dog is probably the dream dog, who eats nothing, doesn't beg, doesn't shit on anything, never gets sick, doesn't stink, doesn't need injections, always waits for you and has eternal life and can make him look the way you like him to look. Better than a robot animal that needs power, spies on you, costs thousands of euros and drives up your electricity bill and dominates your life.
