Daisy and other animals

One afternoon, I just have finished washing up the dishes after a nice light summer dinner, I set down with Daisy our family dog, in order to read her from my book. I promised to read her a long time ago, but recently I had been quite busy so I hadn't time to do that.

After I finished reading the book for Daisy, she turned to me, and I saw a little tear-drop at the corner of her left eye:
'Do you love me?' -Daisy asked.
'Of course I love you' -- I answered. -- ' I love you very much'.
'If you love me... how come that you didn't wrote about me even one line in that book... ?' -Daisy said.
'Daisy I love you... but this book is about people and not about dogs'-I said and was hoping to console her.
'But I saw in your book birds...'- Daisy said' birds aren't people... they are animals... animals... exactly like me'
'Hmmm... You are right, they are animals...' - I told Daisy and was thinking hard in order to came up with a good answer. But, I couldn't find any good one.
'Daisy... you know what' - I told her - 'next time when I will write a little story, the whole story will be just about you'.
Daisy smiled at me a very little smile... and than jumped dawn from the chair and went to chase the neighbor's cat.
