dogs.
“ Dogs are minor a n g e l s
and I don't mean that facetiously
They l o v e unconditionally
forgive immediately
are the t r u e s t of friends
willing to do anything that makes us happy
etcetera
If we attributed some of those qualities to a person
we would say they are s p e c i a l
If they had all of them
we would call them a n g e l i c
But because it's 'only' a dog
we dismiss them as sweet or funny
but little more
However
when you think about it
what are the things that
we most like in another human being?
Many times those qualities
are seen in our dogs every single day
we're just so used to them
that we pay no a t t e n t i o n . ”
― Jonathan Carroll
