If a dog were the teacher you would learn stuff like:
á When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
á 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.
á When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.
á Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
á Take naps.
á Stretch before rising.
á Run, romp, and play daily.
á Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
á Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
á On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
á On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a
shady tree.
á When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire
body.
á No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into
the guilt thing and pout...run right back and make friends.
á Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
á Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you
have had enough.
á Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not.
á If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
á When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
