Hi,<br/><br/>Hope someone tell me the true meaning of the proverb.<br/><br/>"My goal in life is to be as good of a person as my dog already thinks I am. "<br/><br/>One's dog always masters the one, no matter how the one treats it with good or bad way.<br/><br/>The proverb is to say: "Since the dog no matter how I treated it regarded as the eternal master, then I have to do a competent master anyway. "<br/><br/>Thank you for your help.
