Marlene Dietrich said "What is love compared to a ham sandwich?" ("Was ist die Liebe gegen ein Schinkenbrot?) Hope I've got the case ending right there, and possibly she added "when you're really hungry", and possibly a German Schinkenbrot is in a different league to a ham sandwich - I'm just guessing about these two possibilities. ANYWAY my point is - can anything compare to the welcome you get from your dog when you arrive home?
