A dog has the soul of a philosopher
Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
Take naps. Stretch before rising. Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.
Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not.
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.
Being always grateful for each new day and for the blessing of you.
ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY

JUST A DOG
From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog,"
Or "that's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the
Distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a
Dog."
Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog."
Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I
Did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been spent with "just a dog," and in
Those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me
Comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably
Understand phases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise" or "just a
Promise."
"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship,
Trust, and pure unbridled joy.
"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a
Better person. Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long
Walks and look longingly to the future.
So for me and the folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an
Embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond
Memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts
Away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog"
But the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a
Person."
