Your Dog Can Teach You

Isn't it funny how much we can learn from dogs? Who says dogs aren't lovely? Get a Retriever (Labrador, Golden or Flat Coated) and you will know how lovely and honest dogs are. A friend sent the following piece. I hope you like it & learn something from it.

IF DOGS trained people, we’d learn stuff like:

• When loved ones come home, always run to greet them

• Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy

• Take naps and stretch before rising

• Avoid biting when a simple growl will do

• No matter how often you’re scolded, don’t buy into the guilt thing and pout. Run right back and make friends

• Delight in the simple joy of a long walk

• Be loyal

• If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it

• When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
