Thoughts on dogs

Dear Editor,

Here are some thoughts on dogs.

Dogs don’t ask you why you look the way you do. Dogs don’t criticize you for your faults — they love you in spite of them. Dogs don’t take sides — they are faithful to you

through good and bad.

Dogs follow no political party and don’t care who you support. Dogs ask only for you to accept their affection. Dogs appropriate any love shown to them, no matter how much or how little. Dogs would give their lives for you. Dogs’ love is unconditional.

Dogs listen when you speak, never carrying your words to others. To which I add to the little smart alecks out there I know they can’t talk! A man speaks because he has something to say. A fool speaks because they have to say something — Plato.

Dogs never laugh at you or your mistakes, never criticize you and truly care when you are hurting. Dogs are a blessing from God.

Dogs are happy when you are happy. Dogs grieve when you grieve. Even lick the tears from your eyes should you cry. Dogs stay closer than a family member.

Dogs, truly only God could love you more!

These are a few things that are the main differences between dogs and humans. Dogs also are a good thing to have if you live alone. They can hear things a human can’t. Dogs can detect evil. If you meet someone and your dog doesn’t want to have anything to do with them, beware! A person, especially a woman, who lives alone should have a small dog. They will growl if they hear someone or something outside.

Best to look out the window if they start growling. A barking dog, even a little one, can cause a crook to pause, because they know dogs no matter the size will bite! The best friend on earth that you will ever have.
