If a Dog were Your Teacher, You Would Learn Things Like…

Here is a wonderful excerpt that has been passed round and round from one dog lover to other. I received it by email again this morning. I enjoy reading it over and over and so thought I’d share it with all the dog lovers who still haven’t received this.


If a Dog were Your Teacher, You Would Learn Things Like…


  • When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
  • 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.
  • Take naps.
  • Stretch before rising.
  • Run, romp, and play daily.
  • Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
  • Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
  • On warm days, stop to lie on your back in the grass.
  • On hot days, drink lots of water and lie in the shade of a tree.
  • When you are happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

  • Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
  • No matter how often you’re scolded, don’t buy into the guilt thing and pout… run right back and make friends.
  • Be loyal.
  • Never pretend to be something you are not.
  • When it’s in your best interest, practice obedience.
  • If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
  • When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close, and nuzzle them gently.
