Your Dog
(Compliments of the PACAF Sentry Dog Center)
The most unselfish living creature is you dog. If you are in danger, your dog needs only to hear your cry for help, and he will come to your aid without fear of losing his life.
The most patient creature in the world is your dog. Of all God’s animals, he alone works for man without a whip. He is always happy to be with his master, wherever he may be, whatever he may do. He is sadder than any living creature when his master is away, and is the only living creature that can die in a short time from lonesomeness for his master.
The most forgiving creature in the world is your dog. Among humans, true adherence to genuine forgiveness is found only with saints. Your dog carries no grudges and no spite. Punish him even when he does not deserve it, and he comes to you and nudges his wet, cold nose into your hand, looks up at you with honest, pleading eyes, and wags his tail. Hesitantly as though to say, “You could kill me if you wanted to, and I still would forgive you.”
The most loyal creature in the world is your dog. Whether you are dressed in rags or the height of fashion, whether you are a begger or a hero or a coward, a wise man or a fool… Your dog is waiting for you with a loving, friendly bark of happiness, a friendly wagging tail, and a heart that is full of nothing but true love for you.
