What Can Be Learnt From Dogs
It is likely that our present dog breeds have not evolved from the gray wolf, at least not the kind that exists to this day. A study in PLoS Genetics suggests that the dog and the gray wolf have a common ancestor in an extinct wolf lineage of thousands of years ago. In Native American animal speak the wolf is the symbol of a spiritual teacher. That’s why it is not surprising that we still can learn many things from our canine companions, for example:
• When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
• Never pass up an opportunity for going for a joyride.
• Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
• Only when it’s in your best interest, practice obedience, but let others know when they’re invading your territory.
• Take naps and stretch before rising.
• Run, romp, and play daily.
• Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
• Avoid biting when a growl and a snarl will do.
• On warm days, stop what you are doing and lie on your back in the grass.
• If it’s too hot in the Sun, drink lots of water and find yourself a comfortable spot under a shady tree.
• When you’re happy, show it by dancing around and wagging your entire body.
• No matter how often you’re scolded, don’t buy into the guilt thing and pout. Instead, go straight back and make friends.
• Delight in the simple joy of long walks.
• Eat with gusto and enthusiasm, but stop when you’ve had enough.
• Be loyal and faithful to your friends.
• Never pretend to be something you’re not.
• If what you want lies buried, dig for it until you find it.
• When someone is having a bad day, sit silently close by and nuzzle them gently, until they come round again.
• And never trust anyone until – metaphorically speaking – you have intuitively sussed them out and like their scent.
