I’m not a dog lover, not a dog hater either. I (sort of) like dog but never have the desire for having it as my pet. I believe that dog must be free to walk around without been chained and put in cage (well, there are some negative aspects of it too). I love to see dog running wild and free.
One evening as I observed a dog and its master, I learned many things from both of them and the lists below said what I want to says about them. Thirteen things your dog can teach you:
1. When loved ones come, always run to greet them.
2. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
3. Let others know when they’ve invaded your territory.
4. Take naps and stretch before rising.
5. Run, romp, and play daily.
6. On hot days drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
7. When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
8. No matter how often you’re scolded, don’t buy into the guilt thing and pout; run right back out and make friends.
9. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
10. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.
11. Be loyal.
12. Never pretend to be something you’re not.
13. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
The Jewish proverb says “Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise!” (Proverbs 6:6, NLT) I say, my proverb for today is: “Take a lesson from dogs, you animal lovers. Learn from their behaviors and become wise!”
THINK BIG. START SMALL. GO DEEP.
