Don’t you just love dogs? I do. If people were like dogs, there would be a lot more happy in this world! Just think about it.. DOGS ARE:
- Loyal
- People lovers
- Born pleasers
- Hard workers
- Happy about almost everything
- Not ashamed of themselves in the least
We humans share similar desires as dogs — companionship, the need to belong, the thrill of exploration. Thankfully we’re a little more refined with our “social graces” otherwise church potlucks would be rather… uhm… interesting.
But dogs are so funny! You make them do silly tricks, put peanut butter on their noses, or tobasco on their tongues (uh, no kids… I’m joking, don’t do that!)… and yet they just love you unfailingly. “Haha… I smelled peanut butter for three days!” they’d say.
The thing I love about dogs the most, though, is their ability to be happy. Unless you lock them up, treat them wrong, or they get sick — dogs always seem to be in a good mood! Tromping through the snow, falling into a “puddle” 3 feet deep, finding a dead rat and gallavanting around with their “trophy”… what makes humans flee in terror dogs do for fun!
You just gotta smile and love ‘em for it.

I agree 100%. Dogs are wonderful for perspective. And to make you laugh. Occassionaly they might make you angry, but when you realize why, it’s usually because it involved an inanimate object that doesn’t matter anyway. Having the dog is way better than having some stupid clean, unstained rug

Right on! Dogs give such unconditional love and never asks for much in return. Loved your piece!
