Man’s Best Friend - 1

It’s a dog-gone life, I love it …..and I’m happy for it!

Why do people, children and adults have dogs? The reasons vary really. “He looked so cute in the pet shop window, I couldn’t resist.” Was only given to me. My Family needs protection.
So you see, owning a dog has taken a much broader and oftentimes higher purpose that the hunting, herding and farm tending they originally used to be for.

It’s not easy to live in such a world. We need companions to be able to survive. Sometimes we rely on friends. Sometimes we rely on our family. For one, man has this great and overwhelming need to communicate. He needs to talk about his life, what’s good about it, what’s not so good about it. Naturally, this situation requires that he should have a listener. Someone who will listen intently and make no judgments. Guess what? A dogs all ears. The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too. He may not be able to talk back but his mere presence is consoling and comforting when you need him to be. Probably not that lonely, but it still feels different to have someone around whom you’ll take care of as if he were your own child.
