Thanks Gene
It irks me when the broadcaster ends the report with, “we need these inspirational stories, even if it’s just a dog”.
I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt and think she meant it a different way than I took it, but it still rubs me the wrong way.



‘even if it’s just a dog’ – such a stupid thing to say. She obviously has no pets of her own.
I’m going to try and think she just misspoke… got her words mixed up and didn’t quite mean it the way it sounded.
Naaaa…. I think she’s just a dick!
To many people dogs are just animals.
Not people.
Hence the ‘just’.
