What dogs can teach you about life

Dogs are man’s best friend, but are they much more than that? Are they man’s best teacher? There are many subtle things that dog’s can teach us about life. You have to dig deep but there are some lessons to be learned from them.

You should always be happy - No matter what life throws at you, you should always be happy. You can be down while a bad event is happening, but a few hours later or the next day you should bounce back. Dogs can be in the worst circumstances, such as horrible living conditions, but they always seem to make themselves happy.

It’s great to meet new people - You should try to meet new people as much as you can. You never know where it can lead. You could find your true love, create some new business contacts or maybe even save a life. Dogs always want to meet every other dog that comes in their path.

You should enjoy getting out - Get excited about getting outside, taking a walk, and seeing what’s going on in the neighborhood. Dogs love to see, smell, and hear the environment around them. They can walk down the same path everyday, but they’ll be just as excited as the first time they went.

Try to have some fun - No matter where you are or what situation you are in try to laugh and have some fun! It’ll make things much easier on yourself and those around you. Dogs can have fun anywhere, give them a stick and they’ll be entertained for hours.

Stupid? What a sad, pathetic life you must endure.

Dogs are great creatures. Anybody that can’t learn from them
is missing out.

Yeah, being a dog would be awesome bc you wouldn’t have to work and you would always be happy and never hungry….it kinda like being a rich persons kid. Except, dogs are missing out on the finer things in life like pot, jack in the box, porn, and sky diving.

Hunter, you’re a f*cking retard. If you like jack in the box, pot, and porn, that means three things.

1) you’re fat.
2) probably a highschool drop out.
3) you resort to porn because no real woman would touch you.

f*ck off and die, please, for the sake of all humanity.

Ok, but its only fair to say that you are hateful human because of these three things.

1) You can’t except others opinions and be tolerant of idea different than your own

2) You have no sense of humor and can’t take a joke

3) You are a psychology major wannabe, I don’t think you have a Doctorate in any applied psychology, so keep your thoughts of who I am to yourself

But dogs are kickin’, mine is just chillin with me right now…I love it

It’s a start…lots more to learn from them - unconditional love, joy of life (see them wiggle their entire back end?), they get a thrill out of going on any outing, even the smallest dog would give their life protecting yours, and they live in the moment. There is much, much more to learn from dogs……

There is plenty more to learn from dogs. I just wanted to get people thinking about what dogs can teach you about life.

[...] the likes of some bloggers write about how TV shows relate to blogging, so Andrew tells us what dogs can teach us about life. The problem with such posts is that they contain zero useful information and could be written [...]
