For
The Love Of Dogs
By Miss Debra Rae
Dogs and humans have been together for centuries.
Why are we such pals? Dogs dig, bark, lick, steal burgers
from the grill, get fleas, worms, ticks. Dogs have to be trained
to do their business outside and then it has to be cleaned
up. They have to be fed, bathed, brushed, walked, played with
and watered. Dogs need attention, a veterinarian and must
be cared for when you go on vacation or away for the night
or a weekend.

Through all this, the human/dog bond is stronger than
ever.
Its estimated people are spending over $2 billion a
year on
their family pets and this number increases yearly.
Some say
within the next 5 years people will spend in excess
of $8
billion a year on their furry family members without
blinking an
eye. Those that pamper their pets are an example to
all of how to say "thank you" to man's best
friend.
A well cared for dog will do anything
to protect their human
pack. Recently, a Chihuahua took on a rattlesnake to
protect
one of its family members and nearly lost its little
canine
life. Dogs are among the heroes after a disaster such
as the
twin towers or an avalanche. Dogs find the dead for
a proper
burial and the living who are covered with so much rubble
or
snow that no human could ever find them without the
super
sniffer of the dog.

The stories about canine heroes are in the thousands and
occur every day. How many people would not be alive today
without the wonderful dog? Our lives are richer, happier,
and so much better with our pal the dog.
Dogs have been guiding the blind and deaf for decades. These
canine kings and queens create a quality of life and a safety
net not found with any other animal. Dogs help people with
Cerebral palsy and severe anxiety. Dogs calm children and
adults with autism, bi-polar disorders and other challenges.
It's stated that by simply petting a dog, a human becomes
more relaxed and blood pressure drops. Dogs warn us when someone
is at the door or when an intruder has entered the house.
Dogs sniff out bombs and drugs. Dogs seem to know when someone
has ill intent. Dogs are looking out for us at all times.
Always on alert. Dogs are the ultimate protectors. Dog is
indeed man's best friend and brings out the best in people.
The love for a dog brings tears to the eyes of the most jaded
& hardened
people. This love can also drive a hard-core military man
to break every rule in the book to protect a stray dog who
has become a family member. Dogs are exceptional.
Dogs are more a family member than ever before instead of
the old way of the pet who lives outside. People sleep with
their dogs, cuddle with their dogs and take them on vacation.
People pamper their dogs, dress their dogs and buy them only
the best dog food available or make it at home. We thank our
dogs every day for their love, companionship and individual
personality. We have safety belts for our dogs and dog hammocks
for the car. We adore our dogs and they in turn adore us.
This exchange of pure love is why we humans spend billions
of dollars on dog supplies, food, and all around spoiling.
Our canine family member will die for us, warn us of danger
and lead us home if we're lost. It's a fair trade to clean
up the dog poop, deflea, deworm, detick, walk, water, play,
brush, train and fill up the holes they dig.
