Dogs Teach Us New Tricks

There are hundreds of breeds of dogs. It has often been said that dogs and their owners start to look alike throughout the duration of their relationship. We may never know if owners take on the characteristics of their dogs or if it works the other way around, but if we are going to share our pets’ good looks, we may as well go the extra mile and try to take on more of their attributes. In many ways, the more we act like our dogs the better people we should become.

As far as loyalty goes, we most likely have never seen another person or animal that is more loyal than the dogs we have known. Many breeds are willing to fight to the death to protect their owners, their possessions, or their families. While loyalty between humans is subject to change and often does through time, it is rare for our canine friends to switch their allegiances. For richer or poorer, in good times and bad, your dog will stick with you.
How is your work ethic? If your work ethic is half that of just about any dog, we would all get a lot more done; and with a big smile on our faces. Working dogs, of course, exemplify tireless stamina and dedication. Most breeds demonstrate a hardy determination to please us in one way or another for their entire lives.

Nearly every dog you will see or come into contact with will most likely be in a great mood. What a joy it must be to be happy most of the time. It doesn’t matter if it is raining or sunny out, whether it is mid-summer or the dead of winter. Dogs have a sense of being happy to be alive and they can not wait to see what happens next. They really seem to seize each day, enjoying every moment for what it is. Human life is certainly more complicated than the life of a dog, but there is definitely a lesson here to be learned and applied. Simplify life when you can and enjoy the experiences and people you come across each day.
