Murray Mac, the point may be what you relate to. You may find Old Shep "funny" because you have never related to a dog on that level. It may never have occurred to you that a dog you loved could save your life or even want to. However, if your child had drowned in a swimmng pool or had been abducted and murdered, I doubt you would find a song about something like that "funny". Yowl, spit, scratch!

I will now lighten up.
