“Heald envied and admired a dog's existence, and it only weighed on him more when he considered the rare and undeniably questionable gift of knowing that he would die— that he was mortal. A dog could only embrace love absolutely, without hesitation, and could devote itself to it with complete and unabashed abandon, for the world was forever.” LoveLifeInspirationalHappinessDeathDyingPhilosophy Of LifeDeath And DyingDogsDogs And Humans Book:TITLE 13: A Novel Source: TITLE 13: A Novel

“A dog only got hurt if its love was repudiated, intentional or not, though it never had long to feel true sorrow in response because it never held its love back, regardless of reciprocation; the dog just tried to love you more. No other distractions such as work, home, friendships, or lovers—just the insistence of undying and unwavering affection in the truest sense of the word—asking for only a fraction of what it gave.” LoveInspirationalDevotionDogsDogs And HumansDog LoversDogs Loyalty Book:TITLE 13: A Novel Source: TITLE 13: A Novel
“Heald did not understand cats. All his life he had been a dog person, naturally averse to cats due to his allergies. Many of the women that he knew in the city had cats. It couldn’t be as simple as men being “dog people” and women being “cat people”; he knew that was too one- dimensional. Maybe something about cats’ apprehensive and complicated nature drew women to adore them, sensing a mirrored personality that had to be appreciated, or at the very least, respected. Dogs, with their fanatical, uncomplicated, and singular devotion, were everything a man could ever ask for.” Men And WomenDogsCatsDogs And HumansDog LoversDogs And CatsDogs LoyaltyCats Vs Dogs Book:TITLE 13: A Novel Source: TITLE 13: A Novel
