If a Dog were Your Teacher, You Would Learn Things Like…

Here is a wonderful excerpt that has been passed round and round from one dog lover to other. I received it by email again this morning. I enjoy reading it over and over and so thought I’d share it with all the dog lovers who still haven’t received this.

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back in the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie in the shade of a tree.
When you are happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
No matter how often you’re scolded, don’t buy into the guilt thing and pout… run right back and make friends.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you are not.
When it’s in your best interest, practice obedience.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close, and nuzzle them gently.
