I Don't know if you watch the Big Bang Theory but at the end of every episode is a comedic note from the writers covering various topics. This was tonight's:
"A young woman stepped forward from the throng and asked, 'O' great prophet, tell us how we might find love that is unconditional, unwavering, and unending.' The prophet did not answer right away. He looked off into the distance, gathering his thoughts. Silence descended upon the crowd. Then he turned his gaze upon the young woman and said, 'Get a dog.' "
The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran (1st draft)
Haha...hopefully that's not true...otherwise I need to invest in a dog!
From me
Oh dear, you've got me onto a subject I can spout on forever!!
Firstly, I love the quote and have added it to my burgeoning collection. Secondly, I hate to break it to you, but it's so true!!!
Let me use this opportunity to try to convince you to choose a canine companion over a human companion...
First off, many famous women agree that no man can love you like a dog does...
• The more boys I meet the more I love my dog. Carrie Underwood
• Dogs never bite me. Just humans. Marilyn Monroe
• Why can't a man be more like a dog, huh? So sweet, loving, attentive. Mary Adams
• A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. Gilda Radner
Secondly, unconditional love is only the tip of the iceberg of what a furry friend can bring you...
• A dog can give you a purpose in life: to become the person your dog thinks you are!
• A dog can teach your children a lot of things: like fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down.
• No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as a dog does.
• Dogs provide oodles of comfort when you're feeling blue because they don't try to find out why.
All in all, a dog can make you blissfully happy. There is simply no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.
But in the interests of a balanced argument, maybe; just maybe it's all a crock of lies. Maybe the "love" dogs give is just a sneaky façade to keep us in tow. After all, if aliens saw us walking our dogs and picking up their poop, who would they think is in charge?
Oh well, enough thoughts on the matter. I'll leave you to make up your own mind!

Almost convincing Mr Myburgh. But then I found this quote ...
“Just give me a comfortable couch, a dog, a good book, and a woman. Then if you can get the dog to go somewhere and read the book, I might have a little fun.” Groucho Marx
Haha..in saying that though, I've always been partial to a golden retriever. But I think I just love them because as puppies they are the cutest things. I don't know about actually looking after one full time. Looking after two kids on my own is plenty for now...

Ha ha! That's another absolute gem of a quote. I'll capitulate. After all, a woman as a partner does indeed have some beautiful, marvellous and even sacred qualities that no dog, even on its best day, can possibly match...
... like being able to look in a drawer and find a pair of socks that aren't there!
And maybe we men as partners have more sweet-natured, loving, dog-like qualities to bestow than we're given credit for. As Robert Brault said "I am not your dog, but if every time you saw me, you gave me a backrub, I would run to greet you, too."
