Dog Noses- Connected to Man’s Best Friend
If you don’t like dogs, I’m sorry. There’s something wrong with you.
Now before your bristles start pointing skyward, I acknowledge there are some people who are afraid of dogs. They’ve had a bad experience with a bad dog. But think- nearly every person on this planet has had a bad experience with a bad person, but there are still those we love and cherish.
Dogs like you when nobody else does. They don’t care if you’re broke. And if you run out of food for them, they won’t bite you. They just go with the flow until you get some cash for a new bag of grub, or wait until you’re ready to share some leftovers until pay-day.
You can stink, and dogs will love you. In fact, they will probably love you even more if you stink.
Dogs are not judgmental. They don’t care if you wear stripes and plaids together. And they don’t look at your 401K, your credit rating, or anything else before they give you approval.
All dogs want is love. That is why it breaks my heart to go to kennels and see the animals doomed for euthanasia. Stupid people let their dogs and cats breed. There are too many of them. I know the day when the people at the shelter have to decide which dog lives and which dog dies is hard on them. Giving the shots must be terrible. I would be willing to bet there is a big turnover in that job.
I don’t anthropomorphize dogs. They are animals, and do not not think like people. Animals are not on the same plane as humans. We must always pick human life over the life of an animal. I am not an animal rights activist, not a member of PETA, not a vegetarian, and I even have a cat in the house.
But I love dogs.
Dog noses are fascinating pieces of God’s creation. Imagine how sensitive those noses are. Some of them can even smell a patient’s skin, and point out a cancer before it is clearly visible to a doctor. They can help people find termites, illegal drugs, and lost people.
And the friendship of an animal can even help find a lost soul. It’s working in prison programs where prisoners train dogs.
With all that said- here is a web site I found that is a tribute to dog noses. Enjoy:
I like the style of your writing, however, I do not agree with your opinions.
