WHAT'S IN
A TITLE? |
A Title is a tribute to the dog
that bears it, a way to honour the dog, an ultimate memorial. It will
remain in the record and in the memory for about as long as anything
in this world can remain. Few humans will do as well or better in
that regard. And though the dog himself doesn't know or care that his
achievements have been noticed, a Title says many things in the world
of humans, where such things count.
A Title says your dog was
intelligent, adaptable, and good-natured. It says that your dog loved
YOU enough to do the things that please you, however crazy they may
have sometimes seemed. And a Title says that you loved your dog, that
you loved to spend time with him because he was a good dog, and that
you believed in him enough to give him yet another chance when he
failed, and that in the end your faith was justified.
A Title proves that your dog
inspired you to have the special relationship enjoyed by so few; that
in a world of disposable creatures, this dog with a Title was greatly
loved, and loved greatly in return. And when that dear short life is
over, the Title remains as a memorial of the finest kind, the best
you can give to a deserving friend, volumes of praise in one small
set of initials before or after the name.
A Title is nothing less than
love and respect, given and recieved permanently.
