Dogs and Lifestyle

For some these two notions might seem too far apart to present
any similarities. But still, more than we know, dogs as object
of our love or repulsion, affect our lifestyle.

Each and every one of us has gone through at least one
experience that included a dog. Whether sad or fortunate, these
experiences exist and cannot be ignored. As every other marking
moment emotions triggered by a dog at some point influent our
ways from that moment on.

Just for fun I want to show you what I mean by giving a rather
unknown example to prove my point.

Let’s say you are over 30 and tried already every diet in the
world to loose a few ponds. And naturally, nothing worked. Well,
one evening, rainy evening of course, you come across a little
fluffy puppy abandoned just next to the garbage can in front of
your house. You don’t necessarily like dogs, but this one seems
different and so alone, maybe even a little sick, that you feel
pity (you think) for him and take him in…just for the night.
And then you keep him another night, and another one till he
officially becomes your pet – you can’t deny it anymore. You
walk him every day at fixed hours and, although you forgot all
about your weight problem being too busy petting the little pet,
you amazingly reached undreamed results in that particular
problem. Surprised?

You shouldn’t be, it’s known (by some at least) that regular
daily 10 – 15 minutes walks are the best diet of all. Try them
on your own and you might get bored and give up. But with a dog,
the walks are a must, they have to be done, you can’t miss any
of them.

So, the little innocent dog not only made you a better person
since you let him into your house (and heart), but also solved
the problem you had that all your determination and lost money
on diet products couldn’t solve.

If I wasn’t convincing enough, just try it. Get a dog. And
miraculously you will be a different person.
