“Why dogs are important in our world today”
by Barbara E. Magera
Dogs are inherently loving and inquisitive.
Dogs are incredibly tolerant of all different types of humans.
Dogs are forgiving. Even if ignored or treated less optimally in the past, they still nurture a friendly nudge to establish new human bonds.
Dogs always want to go outside and enjoy nature particularly with a human companion.
Dogs don’t get offended easily. They don’t really care what name we call them rather they respond to the tone and intent of the human voice.
Dogs are happy with the now moment. Dogs live the mantra of Carpe diem.
Dogs respond to human anxiety and unhappiness by trying to comfort their human companion.
Dogs express their happiness with enthusiasm. When you appear, they cover you with wet kisses, jumps of joy and wagging tails.
Dogs don’t start an all out assault without provocation. If there’s a situation they don’t like, they growl first.
Dogs are incredibly loyal. Their behavior is predictable.
Dogs love attention and love. They respond to positive vibes and provide their owners with comfort.
Dogs are always happy regardless of the circumstances or their surroundings .
If humans could adapt even one characteristic of canine behavior into their daily habits, our world would be a better place. Thank God for these intelligent creatures we call “dogs”.
