We lost my dad late last year and ever since then his dog spends most of his time staring out the front door, waiting.

Truly heartbreaking because there is no way to tell my dad's ever-faithful companion that his master will never be coming home again.

The rest of the time, the dog mopes around and clings to my mom, looking at her with a quizzical look.

Oh yes, dogs feel love, loyalty, and all of our other good qualities.
