IF A DOG WERE YOUR TEACHER
You would learn stuff like….
1. When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
2. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
3. Practice obedience…, when it’s in your best interest.
4. Take naps and stretch before rising.
5. Thrive on attention and let others touch you.
6. Run, romp and play daily.
7. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
8. When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
9. No matter how often you’re scolded, don’t buy into the guilt thing and pout. Run right back and make friends.
10. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.
11. Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not.
12. On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
13. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
14. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
15. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.
