Reply To: You should get a dog.

You should read perek shira:
The dog is a dedicated and cherished pet that recognizes its master and subjugates itself entirely to his will. Dog in Hebrew is “כלב ,”which is a contraction of the words “לב כולו”, meaning “entirely heart”. This refers to the dog’s unashamed expression of its heart’s will, as well as its wholehearted devotion to the master who feeds it, whom it will protect even at the risk of its
own life. The dog sings that mankind, too, should serve the ultimate master, Hashem, with comparative allegiance.
