If a Dog Was a Teacher

If a dog was a teacher, you would learn things like:

---When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
---Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
---Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
---Take naps.
---Stretch before rising.
---Run, romp, and play daily.
---Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
---Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
---On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
---On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
---When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
---Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
---Be loyal.
---Never pretend to be something you're not.
---If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
