...of man's best friend and faithfulness

There isn't any other creatures more faithful than dogs. Yours Sincerely ( Y S ) was forced to give up his Golden Retriever, Shaggy, for adoption about a year ago. Every trip to KL made Y S long to visit Shaggy and his new family. It isn't easy to locate houses in KL. The golden opportunity came when Y S' elder daughter was home last May. She has an inbuilt GPS in her brain and manages to locate every nook and corner in KL, especially food outlets. She easily found the house after only one wrong turn.

The signature grin of a Golden Retriever on Shaggy's face was a sight to behold. He remembered us well, and without any animosity for giving him up for adoption. There was much joy in the wagging of his tail and the whining grunt he made tugged at Y S' heart. He remembered us. Such is the gratitude of a dog.

Shaggy has now become a gentle dog, compared to his rough ways when he was in Alor Star. His new family has showered on him much love, care and trsining. We have the Good Lord to thank for finding him such a family. He does not rush as he did in Alor Star but walks gentlemanly and is very close to his new master.


Shaggy saying " Hello. How are you?" to Y S ' better half. And like most women, Y S' better half sobbed and sobbed.

I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive. ~Gilda Radner

One reason a dog can be such a comfort when you're feeling blue is that he doesn't try to find out why. ~Author Unknown

If you get to thinking you're a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else's dog around. ~Will Rogers


The more I see of man, the more I like dogs. ~Mme. de Staƫl


A man may smile and bid you hail
Yet wish you to the devil;
But when a good dog wags his tail,
You know he's on the level.
