IF A
DOG WAS YOUR TEACHER
You
would learn stuff 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.
It's in
your best interest to practice obedience.
Let
others know when they've invaded your territory.
Take
naps and 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 on the grass.
On hot
days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree.
When
you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
No
matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout, run
right back and make friends.
Delight
in the simple joy of a long walk.
Be
loyal.
Never
pretend to be something you're not.
If what
you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When
someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
