Why do dogs live less than people?
Here's the answer:
Being a vet, I was asked to examine a 13 year old dog named Batuta. The family expected a miracle.
I examined Batuta and found out that he was dying of cancer and that I couldn't do anything...
Batuta was surrounded by the family. The boy Pedro looked so calm, caressing the dog for the last time, and I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within minutes, Batuta fell peacefully asleep never to wake up again.
The little boy seemed to accept it without difficulty. I heard mom wondering ;- Why is dog life shorter than human beings?
Pedro said, ′′ I know why."
The boy's explanation changed my way of seeing life.
He said :-" We come to the world to learn to live a good life, how to love others all the time and be a good person, right?! As dogs are already born knowing how to do all this, they don't have to live for as long as we do." Understand?
Moral of the story is:
If a dog was your teacher, you'd learn things like:
* When your loved ones arrive home, always rush to greet them.
* Never miss an opportunity to go for a walk.
* Allow the experience of fresh air and wind on your face to be pure ecstasy!
* Take naps.
* Stretch before you rise.
* Run, jump and play daily.
* Avoid ′′ biting ′′ when just a ′′ growl ′′ would suffice.
* In very hot weather, drink lots of water and lay in the shade of a frondous tree.
* When you're happy, dance moving your whole body.
* Delight yourself with the simple joy of a long walk.
* Be faithful.
* Never intend to be something you are not.
* If what you want, is ′′ buried "... dig until you find it.
* And never forget:
When someone has a bad day, be silent, feel close and softly make them feel like you're there. ❤️
