Dog - Heartbeat At Our Feet

Dog Heartbeat At Our Feet

• Not every person knows how to love a dog, but
  every dog knows how to love a person.
• A Very Heart touching article written by Miss
  Ritu, a teacher in Ekya School. Ekya School is
  the Best CBSE school in Bangalore.

• Why are there so many dog lovers out there? Dogs
  or furballs like I call them, share our lives in
  a way that most other animal cant, and they are
  so close to us that its easy to take their
  faithful companionship for granted. Dogs have
  stolen our hearts and made a place in our homes
  for thousands of years.
• I am hoping that through this article we all are
  reminded as to why we love dogs so much and we
  stop to spare a few minutes and few words in
  praise of mans best friend, the dog.

• Dogs are creatures of simple needs and love human
  companionship. Your dog waits for you by the
  door, face smiling, mouth open and tail wagging,
  ready to dote on you - his best friend in this
  whole wide world. Now, wouldnt your ego be
  gratified at the sight of this happy furball who
  cant wait to greet you at the end of a hard day?
  We are the centre of their universe and they are
  always eager to please us in any way they can.
  They give the best of themselves, their loyalty,
  unconditional love and affection. In return, we
  owe them gentle handling and an abundance of our
  time and love. It is without doubt the best deal
  man has ever made.

• I dont think dog lovers anywhere in the world
  have not been guilty of praising and talking
  about their beloved friend with passion and
  delight. Invariably, the conversation always
  turns to dogs and then there is no stopping them
  from sharing loving stories about each others
  four legged babies. Here I would like to add my
  favourite phrase that dogs are great
  connectors. They instantly draw people together,
  whether friends or strangers.

• People generally regard dog lovers to be an
  eccentric lot who at the drop of a hat will be
  ready to stand up not only for their beloved pets
  but also for the homeless bundle of joy on the
  streets. I urge everyone to stop and think before
  pelting stones at a dog. But all I can say to
  these people is, You dont know what joy and
  happiness is missing in your life!

• The sad part though is that people have so many
  misconceptions about these beautiful creatures
  and without a second thought they are mistreated.
  When one chooses a dog, one must become a
  responsible dog owner. Never get a dog on a whim,
  think through your decision as your new puppy
  will be a family member who will be with you for
  next ten to fifteen years. He will be giving you
  his best and deserves the same from you.
  Sometimes life gets rough and we are forced to
  make serious choices but abandonment is NEVER
  acceptable.

• Some people feel that a dog needs too much care
  and attention. You have to feed them and take
  them for walks. Here, I would like to say that, I
  cant imagine my life without my two beautiful
  girls who have taught me many valuable lessons on
  our journey together. They are worth any work I
  have to do because they are not just dogs but
  they are my babies and my family would not be
  complete without them. Over the years our bond
  has strengthened and my girls have been by my
  side with their smiling faces and wagging tails,
  helping me go through all the ups and downs in
  life.

8

• Last but not the least, I would like to end by
  saying that, love can make a dogs world go round
  as much as love makes our world go round. Man is
  truly blessed and should be honoured to have such
  a beautiful and faithful friend in his life.
