WHAT IS A TITLE?
Not just a brag, not just a stepping-stone to a higher
title, not just an adjunct to competitive scores. A title is a
tribute to the dog that bears it, a way
to honor the dog, an ultimate memorial. It will remain, in record and
in 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 itself doesn't know or care that its achievements have
been noted, a title says many things in the world of humans, where such
things count.
A title says your dog was intelligent, and adaptable, and good-natured.
It says that your dog loved you enough to do the things that pleased you,
however crazy they may have sometimes seemed.
And a title says that you loved your dog, which you loved to spend time
with it because it was a good dog that you believed in it enough to give it
yet another chance when it failed, and that in the end, your faith was
justified.
A Title proves that your dog inspired you to that 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 those sets of initials before and/or after the name.
