Hello friends,
As we approach Pet Appreciation Day, I couldn’t help but think about the many celebratory dog holidays. Ever wondered why we dogs unlike any other animal are so revered as man’s best friend? Yep. The list of reasons is very long and it has very little to do with our unique ability to perform tricks or secret language. Just think about all the extraordinary ways dogs contribute to human’s lives their transformative power and you quickly learn to appreciate their magical qualities.

Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE cats regardless of their CATitutde, but the inescapble truth is this: cats can’t save your life!
And this is why dogs rule.
Those who have never experienced the unmatched joy of having a special bond with a dog will never know what they are missing out on. But perhaps the list below can help change that. As a rescue dog I always strive to find creative ways to inspire love of dogs and adoption. CAUTION! Reading this list may bring tears to your eyes.
It’s worth noting that this list was originally written in 1993 by an English dog trainer named Stan Rawlinson, who called it “The 10 Commandments From a Pet’s Point of View.” Over time the list has been modified slightly, but the main idea remains the same: It’s a good reminder of why we love dogs in the first place.
10 Things Your Dog Would Tell You
1. My life is likely to last ten to fifteen years. Any separation from you will be painful: remember that before you get me.

10 Things Your Dog Would Tell You
1. My life is likely to last ten to fifteen years. Any separation from you will be painful: remember that before you get me.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me—it is crucial to my well being.
4. Do not be angry at me for long, and do not lock me up as punishment.
5. You have your work, your entertainment, and your friends. I only have you.
6. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don’t understand your words, I understand your voice.
7. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget.
8. Remember before you hit me that I have sharp teeth that could easily hurt you, but I choose not to bite you because I love you.
9. Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I might not be getting the right food, or I have been out too long, or my heart is getting too old and weak.
10. Take care of me when I get old. You too will grow old. Accompany me on difficult journeys. Never say: “I cannot bear to watch” or “Let it happen in my absence.” Everything is easier for me if you are there—even my death.
Remember that I love you.
Remember that I love you.
Hope this inspires you to recognize the magic of dogs and celebrate them for who they are: man’s best friend!
