“A person can learn a lot from a dog, even a loopy one like ours. Marley taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things-a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, a nap in a shaft of winter sunlight. And as he grew old and achy, he taught me about optimism in the face of adversity. Mostly, he taught me about friendship and selflessness and, above all else, unwavering loyalty.” ~ John Grogan, Marley and Me: Life and Love With the World’s Worst Dog

Beautiful and so true…they also bring such sweetness and gentleness into a house…and ingenuous goodness…
I can’t imagine not living with pets. Their love is totally unconditional.
Love this passage, and it is so true. Dogs are amazing creatures and they certainly bring a lot of joy and “grounded ness” to my world…..
Absolutely
This is what my 17 year old cat taught me ~ unconditional pet love is a blessing in our lives. xo

I give out all the love my dogs have given me over the years they were the best!
My dogs are great teachers. They show me lessons to be learned all of the time!
I HAVE NO DOG; YET I KNOW THAT dogs are great teachers. They show me lessons to be learned all of the time! Thanking you, a lone dog from Kerala state, India, on Teacher`s Day
