Dogs are the gateway to the human soul and one of the cornerstones to society in general or at least a small piece of the main cog that unites our species. By this I mean that we as a people are all individually heading in different directions or strolling down different paths, converging once in a while but inevitably going our seperate ways never to meet again. The one uniting factor in our society, the one soothing element in many peoples hectic lives is the comforting love of a dog. No matter how stressed a life has become or how many different confusing paths a person chooses to take in life, no matter how much anguish, misfortune or loss an individual has suffered, the unconditional love of our dogs can and will bring us through. The one thing these animals can and do give us that even our spouse or children sometimes aren't even capable of is the unconditional aspect of their devotion and herein lies the reason why they are an important part of the cornerstone of our species. They have an overall calming effect on us as individuals which in turn collectively helps to sooth our societies turbulent nature and unites us as a whole. I know there are people out there who are very indifferent to dogs and who think this whole idea of dog compassion is overly romantic but I believe I'm right.
You can definitely judge the character of a person by the way they treat their dog or the way they treat any dog. This I know to be true. Be as loving as you can towards them because their lives are short and I truly believe with all of my heart that we'll meet them again once we cross that RAINBOW BRIDGE.
