A dog wags his tail from the heart.  A dog’s love is one of the most honest feelings.  They are never ashamed of us, never talk behind our backs, and they are there for us when we need a little love to make us feel better when we are down.

I have always felt they are amazing creatures.  They can create miracles, can bring life to humans who have lost their zest for living. These beautiful animals can change our feeling and make us glad to be alive.  It is like they just give you love and help you when you are grieving.

Their love should never be taken for granted.  Think of the dogs that are taken from abused places.  Would you believe they never hold grudges towards humans?  Could we do that?  I don’t know.  We have a lot of trouble forgiving whereas dogs seem to be able to forgive so much more easily.

People can learn lessons from their wonderful critters.  If we watched how easily they can make us laugh even when we are not in the mood, we end up laughing.  More of us really need to learn how to get their ability to love unconditionally.

Dogs can take on a variety of roles and jobs in your life – from protector to champion, from friend to therapist – all in part because of their extreme ability to practice unconditional love. They will lay down their lives for you.  There are times when dogs will even adopt other animals and watch over them as a mother would take care of their children.

Dogs have a natural ability to be in the moment and it’s wonderful to learn from them in that lesson. When you come home happy or grumpy, absent-minded or fully present, your dog will always greet you and be full of joy to see you. Instantly you are given the gift of being able to experience an entirely new feeling just by the excitement of your dog when you come home.

Dogs have simple needs. Pay attention to how they like to spend their time, how they live, and most importantly how they feel. Your dog certainly has emotions and their bodies also tend to have patterns just like our human bodies do. Some dogs tend to run warm while others tend to be cold. Dogs who tend to run hot dig holes in the ground in the summer to stay cool. If you think about it, we are the same way. You may have never considered that, but it is the truth.

Dogs love us unconditionally. They do not judge us for our actions. They are angels from heaven.
