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 received permanently.
