岁月伴友如伴狗
[suì yuè bàn yŏu rú bàn gŏu]
'岁月伴友如伴狗' translates loosely to 'companionship in times feels like living with dogs'. This phrase uses dog companionship, seen in many cultures as unconditional and long-lasting loyalty despite circumstances, metaphorically for human friendship – suggesting enduring and genuine bonds, albeit sometimes unpredictable, through life stages.
