I will say, if anyone's listening and you're on the fence, getting a pet, a dog, a cat, whatever you want to get has been repeatedly the best decision I've ever made in my life.

Gordo and Butters in particular have brought me so, so much joy.

Are there any things you've learned from talking to our furry friends of all sorts?

Any things you've learned from them that maybe you can't learn from a fellow human being, such as just pure, unconditional love, something like that, throughout your experience?

Yeah, it's a beautiful thought.

I mean, it's a...

Listen, I have so many friends who have just recently lost animals, which were their loves of their life.

My girlfriend, her cat Patches, my boy Luke just lost his dear dog Jill just like a few weeks ago.

And I know he's been devastated, but I like what you said before.

It's like that love never dies.

And that's just a beautiful thought to know that you've changed their life for the better.

And yeah, that love lives on through you, right?

Yeah, it's a beautiful thought.

I really do feel like my dogs are my soulmates, like we were meant to be together.

I don't know if that's revisionist history after the fact, but it really feels that way.

I feel like we have a soul connection and I love these guys.

They brought so much joy into my life.

And yeah, I know a lot of friends who are also at the end of the road or close to the end of the road with their pets.

I don't know if you have any other comforting words.

I know it's kind of a vague question.
