What Dogs Teach Us. So you think old Fido has nothing to teach us all? Think again. Here is a list of things that we can learn from our four legged besties. • Greet your loved ones when they get home with a cheery smile and a hug. • Allow the experience of fresh air and wind in your face to be pure joy. • Take naps often and stretch before rising. • Play every day, even if you don’t feel up to it, get out there and have a good time. • On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under and shady tree. • When you’re happy, let the world know! • Don’t take rejection easily, when rejected, go back out and make new friends. • Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. • Never pretend to be something you are not. • Be loyal to your loved ones and friends. • If what you want is lies buried, dig until you find it.
