Love of a Dog


I just finished watching a movie tonight called "Hachi". If you are a dog lover it is a true story and great story. I think I cried through most of it. My kids watched it earlier today as we were driving to Pocatello, Sarrah tapped me on the shoulder, when I turned around I saw my sweet 4 year old Olivia crying. She had the biggest gator tears just streaming down her face. I said what's wrong Liv? She answered Hachi waited he loved him so much.
I have two good dogs, Ben we found at the Lake 6 years ago. He was so afraid, he hated loud noise, yelling, quick movements and he would never look you in the eye. He has found love at our house, he looks me in the eye now and he even groans when I love him. Lizzy, just loves us. She loves to be with us, near us and will sit and groom us like her little pups if we let her. I think she doesn't realize she is a dog.
A dog doesn't care where you live, where you work or what you do. They don't care if you wear Big Star jeans, if you are too fat or too skinny. They just love. I believe god put them on this earth for us to learn unconditional love, because that is the only kind of love they give. I feel grateful and blessed to have loved a dog and I feel blessed to be loved by them.
