from my good friend Scott Fornaciari
The little boy seemed to accept Belker’s transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker’s Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.
Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, ”I know why.”
Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I’d never heard a more comforting explanation. It has changed the way I try and live.
He said,”People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life — like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” The Six-year-old continued,
”Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long.”
Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly.
Remember, if a dog was the 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.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.

The human canine relationship has existed since the begining of modern man(or before), It transends the limits of our understanding. It is a bond that goes well beyond anything that our intellectual minds can justify. It is complementary, spiritual , and unconditional. I pity anyone who cannot imaginine it and I applaud anyone who can explain it so perfectly. Shane obviously has wisdom well beyond his years!

The following time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I imply, I do know it was my choice to learn, but I truly thought youd have something attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you would fix should you werent too busy searching for attention.

Absolutely wonderful post. I’m sitting here with my 12 year old German Sheppard in tears. When we love, we hurt, when we watch and listen, we learn. Thanks for this post.

Your words meant so much to me. Our family has had to put down so many animals due to cancer. Out of the mouths of babes come the most comforting words of all. Thank you.
