Summary

This quote suggests that while money can buy material possessions, it cannot buy genuine happiness or affection. It implies that even if one can afford to get a well-trained and attractive dog, the true source of joy lies in the genuine affection and companionship that a dog offers, symbolized by the wagging of its tail. Thus, the quote reminds us that true happiness cannot be purchased and stems from emotional connections and genuine relationships, rather than material wealth.
