A Little Bit of Love Have you ever been sad and lonely and felt that nobody cared? You were just lying there when you felt the wet nose of your puppy up against your face, or the feel of your cat rubbing against your legs. It seemed to say I understand, tell me what ' s wrong.

Of course, there are the times when that cute little puppy has your favorite shoe in his mouth: or there is cat fur on your velvet jacket, or even the times when you were ready to go to school, only to walk out the door to get knocked in the mud by your overgrown puppy. True, there is a lot of aggravation, but all of it is really worth a little bit of love. •» I ' m just a puppy, says Brandy ' : Beverly Tyree sits beside her Saint Bernard ! 1 Si wC RIGHT: Becky Griffith pets her shaved Afghan and holds her poodle that can ' t touch the ground. 18 PETS
