Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.


It is said that given the option of being in the company of a dog or a human, Dania would invariably bid you goodbye and suggest you meet on another occasion. Common to the English-this Canisphilia is very much a charming if slightly disturbing trait entrenched in the English sensibility. A people born of reticence and understatement the dog affirms the ideal of what a relationship should be. For as Kipling states’ Buy a pup and your money will buy- Love unflinching that cannot lie-- Perfect passion and worship fed, by a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head. Like every person ever to have bought a dog-Dania suffers the initial if unwarranted investment-that will ultimately end in tears.
