This picture...

I don't know what it is, but this picture nearly moves me to tears every time I see it.  It illustrates true companionship, even in hard times.  Dogs are so loyal, you know that?  They don't care what you look like, how you talk, or what you're peculiarities are.  They are your friend, through thick and thin, always looking out and comforting you as no other human friend could.
