WHY DOGS LIVE LESS THAN HUMAN ? ANSWER OF A 6 YEAR OLD<\/p>\n
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog\u2019s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.<\/p>\n
I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn\u2019t do anything for Belker, and o
\n
\nffered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. <\/p>\n
As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.<\/p>\n
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker \u2018s family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.<\/p>\n
The little boy seemed to accept Belker\u2019s transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker\u2019s Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.
\nShane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, \u201dI know why.\u201d<\/p>\n
Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I\u2019d never heard a more comforting explanation. It has changed the way I try and live.<\/p>\n
He said,\u201dPeople are born so that they can learn how to live a good life \u2014 like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?\u201d The Six-year-old continued,<\/p>\n
\u201dWell, dogs already know how to do that, so they don\u2019t have to stay as long.\u201d<\/p>\n
Live simply.<\/p>\n
Love generously.<\/p>\n
Care deeply.<\/p>\n
Speak kindly.<\/p>\n
Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:<\/p>\n
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.<\/p>\n
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.<\/p>\n
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy.<\/p>\n
Take naps.<\/p>\n
Stretch before rising.<\/p>\n
Run, romp, and play daily.<\/p>\n
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.<\/p>\n
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.<\/p>\n
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.<\/p>\n
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.<\/p>\n
When you\u2019re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.<\/p>\n
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.<\/p>\n
Be loyal.<\/p>\n
Never pretend to be something you\u2019re not.<\/p>\n
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.<\/p>\n
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.<\/p>\n
ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY!<\/p>\n
