IF A DOG WERE YOUR TEACHER...

You would learn stuff like this:
- 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.
- When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.
- Be aware of when to hold your tongue, and when to use it.
- When you do something wrong, always take responsibility (as soon as you're dragged out from under the bed).
- Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
- Be direct with people; let them know exactly how you feel by piddling on their shoes.
- Leave room in your schedule for a good nap and 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 lay under a shady tree.
- When you're happy, dance around and wiggle your entire body.
- No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout. Run right back and make friends.
- Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
- Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
- Stop when you've had enough.
- Be loyal.
- Never pretend to be something you're not.
- If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
- If you stare at someone long enough, eventually you'll get what you want.
- Don't go out without ID.
- When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.
- And last, but not least, if it's not wet and sloppy, it's not a real kiss.
