More Domestic Cats Than

• This certainly doesn’t make cats the
superior pet in any way.
• In fact there are so many stray and feral
cats the real number hasn’t even been
counted.

impossibly large it cannot even be guessed-calculating
pi to one trillion decimal places has become a pitifully
easy task by comparison” -Bradley Trevor Greieve

10. So Now We Ask
• For dog owners out there to cherish the
love and loyalty of a dog.
Dogs Will...
• They will sleep on a cold floor and
remain at their owners side
• They will go hungry yet remain
alongside its family
• They can be beat with shoes, shovels
and stones yet a dog will stay

11. Just kidding... Please
don't beat dogs with
shovels...

13. Anyways
So many people take a dogs love and loyalty
for granted, the gift of a dog is one that should
be treasured. Most if not all humans, are
unworthy of a dogs unconditional devotion.
But if a fraction of out heart could match up to
that of a dog, then life can be lived with true joy
and companionship.
