They salute a full moon. They never balance a checkbook, expect a raise, plan a seating arrangement for a dinner party. Dogs obey nature. They come when they hear a voice that's near enough to matter. Otherwise, they keep their own counsel, run a low profile, sleep in the sun and enjoy the solitude.
Dogs get by with a minimum of creature comforts.
They don't order down comforters or mattresses you can adjust differently on each side of the bed. If they need to cool off in the summer, dogs take a dip in the creek. In the winter, it's nature, not some fancy furrier, that provides a thicker coat. They trust because they are trustworthy, not fickle or swayed by someone's bank account or current circumstances. Dogs sleep well.
