Dog is man’s best friend, according to the old saying, and however you choose to cut it, we’ve been sharing our lives with our canine companions for a very long time indeed.
Owning a dog is, for many people, one of the greatest sources of joy in life, and many people feel that their childhoods were deeply enriched by having a dog to cuddle, run around the garden with, and throw a stick for.
These days, websites such as Pride and Prejudoodles reviews make it easier than ever before to identify reputable breeders, and bring a dog into your home. And aside from the fact that dogs are a pleasure to have around, there are also a few things they may be able to teach you about life (especially if you don’t already have kids).
Here are a few life lessons you can learn from owning a dog.
Just how rewarding it is to care for someone (or something) else
Parents, obviously know all about how rewarding it can be to care for someone else, other than yourself.
For those who haven’t yet had kids, however, having a dog can teach this important life lesson, in a way that various other pets may not.
While cats, for example, are quite autonomous, dogs are highly dependent on their owners, and are highly emotionally invested in them by default, too.
When you come home from a tiring day at work, and you feel like sinking into self-pity, knowing that you have to take your dog for a walk, feed it, and look after it, can help you to get out of your own head and regain perspective.
The importance of not disappointing someone that really believes in you
There is a joke that’s been floating around for a while in motivational circles, that goes something like “be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.”
Dogs are naturally “optimistic” and will tend to see you as a remarkable person, of unparalleled excellence and goodness.
In life, we’re often quite harsh on ourselves, and often justify our misbehaviour, or our failure to live up to our own potential, by telling ourselves that we are just not “good enough” anyway.
No one wants to disappoint a dog. This may seem like a silly observation at first, but it can be a great motivation for becoming your best you.
The value of enjoying the simple pleasures in life
Dogs tend to be adventurous, playful, and interested in the world in an innocent kind of way that can be a pleasure just to behold.
If you’ve been having a difficult time in your life recently, interacting with an excitable dog can often chase the blues away in a hurry, and to quite a remarkable degree.
Dogs naturally appreciate the simple pleasures in life, and if you follow their lead, they can teach you to appreciate the simple pleasures in life as well, and to find joy and comfort when you would otherwise be too caught up in your own troubles.
