The Philosopher Dog, Part 3

The need for leadership is so important today. Dogs can provide that leadership if humans will just listen. Dogs not only know everything that is important, they are ready to teach humans.

Dogs provide leadership. You don't think dogs provide leadership? Just give us a leash and head us out the door, we will lead you. If you are blind, take our collar and we will lead you.

Dogs teach honesty. Do you have peanut butter on your face? Your dog will tell you, even if your husband or wife won't. Have you ever heard a dog lie? It is not in our nature. That is why dogs can not run for public office. Hold out a dog toy and ask your dog if he wants it? He can't lie, he will wag yes.

Dogs teach loyalty. For thousands of years dogs have been loyal to man kind, even when mankind locked them up in kennels and isolated them in the back yard, dogs are still loyal. Dogs still wagged their tail and greeted each human as a long lost friend. Well, except for one or two that we have growled at, but that was under bad circumstances.

Dogs teach obedience. Did you ever hold out a treat to your dog and tell him "Take the treat, boy?" Of course he obeyed. I even have an obedience diploma on my wall.

Dogs teach sensitivity. Do you dress with two different color socks? Your dog will politely ignore it, while your significant other will likely make fun of you.Late to work by 1/2 hour? Your boss will scream at you and you will be upset all day. If you are late to take your best friend for a walk and you will still be greeted by a wag and a bark, we hold no grudges. Dogs are so sensitive, we can tell when you are sick, we can tell when you need a head on your lap or a wagging tail to cheer you up.

Dogs have a lot to teach humans, just keep reading our dog blogs and find out.

    Hey Mogley,
    In addition to the attributes that you have so magnificently outlined, dogs also save Americans millions of dollars in psychologist bills. Who is a better listener to tell your problems to than your dog? NO ONE. Will a dog ever belittle you when you devulge you deepest fantasies and ambitions to him. NO. Will a dog fail to keep a trust and blab it to your wife or husband? NO. Dogs are under appreciated by society. We must make the humans aware of the valueable services and wisdom that we can provide to them. Who is quicker and mote thorough cleaning up cat vomit, your dog or your spouse? Your Dog.

    TBH (and Mogley),

    Just about died laughing at the cat vomit comment. That happens at my house all the time. You know, sometimes I think it is even a race between River and Riley to see who can get to it first.
