Why Can’t People Be More Like Dogs?

The Importance of Straight Animal Talk in a Crooked Human World

We humans depend on our pets a lot for unconditional acceptance, love and “straight talk.”When we’ve lost hope and believe or feel the possible has become the impossible, our furry-faced friends are always there to confide in and snuggle with. Oh, how much more down and blue we would all feel without our beloved dogs and cats and other animal friends by our sides during the good and bad times of our lives!

No offense to cats, but why can’t people act/talk/be more like our beloved dogs? Here are the thoughts of a 6th-grade dog lover on the subject:

Dogs don’t care what you look like…
Dogs are more obedient.
Dogs are always there for you…
Dogs are playful.

Dogs are glad to see you whatever mood you’re in…

Dogs will wait for you.
Dogs are more respectful, too.

Dogs look out the window instead of watching T.V…
Dogs seem so much smarter…even though we humans know so much more.

Dogs are cuddly…

Dogs make you happy when you’re sad.

Dogs are only mean when they’re trying to protect themselves or don’t understand…
Dogs go with the flow more easily.

Dogs are patient and kind…
Dogs are more sensitive to others’ feelings…

Dogs aren’t afraid to do what they want…

That’s why people should be more like dogs!
