The meaning of a dog

I was stopped by a woman today in the street whilst walking to the park with milo. She chuckled at milo's dwarfed frame - a reaction very tipical to us dachshund owners- but then she commented "those dogs are useless"

Useless? Why? Because I bought a dachshund to do the shooing for me? Or babysit? Or go to work and earn me money? What a Druid and ignorant comment to make perhaps milo like many other pets is useless to this idiot because he can't chase and attack a ball or cannot bite humans. Or perhaps he is useless because he can't act as my bodyguard. Well here is news to this woman and any other likeibded ignorant Londoner out there who would rather buy a dog to make them look tough of because they can't afford a home security system! I love milo unconditionally and he loves me too! He is my best four legged friend and never judges me. What he brings to me only other true dog owners will come close to realising.

He serves no purpose in my life but to be there with me and share our family love and affection

There is no such thing as a useless dog!

What does your dog mean to you? Leave me your comments and thoughts too!
