Dogs are minor angels, and I don't mean that facetiously.
They love unconditionally,
forgive immediately,
are the truest of friends,
willing to do anything that makes us happy,
etcetera.
If we attributed some of those qualities to a person,
we would say they are special.
If they had ALL of them,
we would call them angelic.
But, because it's "only" a dog,
we dismiss them
as sweet or funny
but little more.
However when you think about it,
what are the things that we most like
in another human being?
Many times those qualities are seen in our dogs
every single day - -
we're just so used to them
that we pay no attention.
