Just in case

Humans can disappoint us in one way or the other, or they can be very demanding but dogs can never break our hearts. Moreover, they're gentle creatures requiring little maintenance.

In case I am destined to be single until eternity, Sago will forever be in my heart that's for sure. 

Like I said, I've come to treat Sago like my very own child. Like humans, she needs my love and attention. She is my only pet but I have to make sacrifices. I can just imagine what other sacrifices taking care of a human would entail. I might neglect Sago for that reason. I'm afraid I won't have any free time for myself.

I need not beg Sago to love me. She very much appreciates my efforts, therefore she is loyal to me. With that, I am contented to have her as my lifetime companion.
