“You are who your dog thinks you are – kind, caring, and compassionate.
“Your pet does not care about your financial net worth, job, health, fame, etc. All it cares about is your love and your ability to express it. The loving you is the transcendental you that no one can rob”.
I love this quote from the Chair of the Mayo Clinic Mind Body Initiative, Dr. Amit Sood that asks us to assess ourselves through our pets’ eyes.
A pet loves unconditionally – do we?
A pet is loyal – is that a trait of ours?
A pet could care less what kind of bad day we had, can we say the same about people we love who are in our lives?
Money doesn’t impress – bones, petting and play do.
What a wonderful world this would be if we treated two legged animals with the caring and compassion in which we treat four legged animals.
