CALL ME POOCH, PART 2

Watch a Dog for Better Health and Success
To finish some thoughts about what we can learn from our pet friends, the most important trait is unconditional love. Your dog will always love you, even those poor dogs left out in the cold and not allowed in the house. They still wag their tails, will be excited to see the owner and will stand watch trying to protect its home. Even ignoring them won’t deter their ability to forgive.
If people were just slightly more like dogs, there would be more attempts to negotiate and fewer instances of discriminatory behaviors, including war. The ability to offer unconditional love rarely exists in humans but is the mainstay of dogs. Unconditional love is the only mandatory commandment of Christianity.
Other attitudes we can observe in our friends include running to greet people when they come home, practicing obedience when it’s called for, enthusiasm, loyalty and avoid biting when a growl will do. Dogs have been shown to have a positive influence on older persons living in isolation, children with obsessive compulsive disorder and with hospitalized patients of ages.
Is it any wonder we spend so much time and money on our pets? If you would like some enjoyable reading, pick up Marley and Me.
