Judge Patricia Smith’s comments: “From the very first line (‘My dog doesn’t need the Church’), this concise little life lesson had me in its capable clutches. I loved its practicality, its tiny truths, its barely subdued smile. It’s sparse and economical, but it packs a big wallop. I’ve shared this with merely a million people, and not all of them have dogs. And the last line is an unqualified classic, tolerating absolutely no argument. None whatsoever. Love it.”
