Dog behaviors

Many dog owners will testify that their dogs understand them better than anyone else.  They seem to know when we’re sad, when we need them to stay close by, when our energies are high — and when they’re at their lowest.

A dog’s prayer

When you are adopting a pet, take the time to meet the scared ones, the shy ones, the ones that don’t stick out to you.  Take the time to see the ones that hide under their bed, blanket or litter pan … the ones that hiss, the ones that bark, the ones that cower, shake and cry and look at you with confusion.

Dogs have incredible senses; they can hear any little noise and can smell from a mile away.  People talk about opening a wrapper on a piece of cheese; you can’t hear a thing when you open it, but your furry pal sure can and comes running.

Teach your children well

It is so important for young children to learn about being kind, having empathy and showing compassion for our four-legged friends.  It starts at home and it should start at a very early age.  Loving and carry for pets is a commitment for the life of the pet, not for a few weeks or months until the novelty of a new pet wears off.
