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.
