Aw C’mon, you know you’ve never had a two-legged friend who is unfailingly so happy to see you! Your canine buddy throws dignity to the wind – and often bladder control, in an ecstatic happy dance each and every time you appear. Add to that, no one is more jazzed about driving with you – with no criticism, as long as you roll the window down..No one derives more pleasure out of life’s moments, large and small.
This brings us to why you’ll never have a better babysitter for your kids. Buzz Feed lists quite a few important things your four legged buddy will teach your offspring…If I may, I’d like to add just a bit more advice. As with any other pal, you may have to ignore a few differences in your standards of decorum.
A ‘hello’ and a handshake should not be confused with your dog’s traditional ‘meet and greet’ ritual upon meeting new friends and old alike. This is one form of mimicked behavior you want to get ahead of, else you may need to find a new neighborhood.
You can overlook a few torn up slippers and tipped garbage cans now and then. It would be nearly impossible to find anyone who has better instinctual grasp on forgiveness and unconditional love than your four-footed friend…And that’s a good thing for your child to learn, even if the instructor is delightfully basking after a roll in something unspeakably odoriferous.
