If a dog were your teacher, these are some of the lessons you might learn...


* Love unconditionally.

* When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

* Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

* Let others know when they've invaded your territory.

* Take naps and stretch before rising.

* Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do.

* On warm days, stop lie on your back on the grass.

* No matter how often you're scolded, don't pout. Run right back and make friends.

* 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.
