So come, sit down here next to me on the floor, and look deep into my
eyes.
What do you see? If you look hard and deep enough we will talk, you
and I, heart to heart. Come to me not as "alpha" or as "trainer" or
even "Mom or Dad," come to me as a living soul and stroke my fur and
let us look deep into another's eyes, and talk.

I may tell you something about the fun of chasing a tennis ball, or I
may tell you something profound about myself or even life in general.
You decided to have me in your life because you wanted a soul to
share such things with.

Someone very different from you, and here I am.

I am a dog, but I am alive. I feel emotion, I feel physical senses,
and I can revel in the differences of our spirits and souls. I do not
think of you as a "Dog on two feet"- I know what you are. You are
human, in all of your quirkiness, and I love you still.

Now, come sit with me on the floor. Enter my world, and let time slow
down if only for 15 minutes. Look deep into my eyes, and whisper to
my ears.
Speak with your heart, with your joy and I will know your true self.

We may not have tomorrow, and life is oh so very short.

--Love, (on behalf of canines everywhere)
