Love a Dog for Who He Is
~ Author Unknown

Judge a dog for how he looks, 
For like humans, 
they outgrow their cuteness and childlike antics.

Judge not his lineage, 
be it champion's bloodlines 
or  a mongrel's humble beginnings.
His past does not matter, his future does.

Love a dog from your heart, not from society's standards.
A dog symbolizes loyalty, love, faithfulness and friendship.
He does not represent status, affluence, beauty or your ego.

A dog is happy with himself. 
He doesn't need anything to improve 
his standing among his peers.
We all can learn a thing or two from dogs.

Look not with your eyes, but with your heart.
The soul of a dog, his trust, his affection, his loyalty, 
his total surrender -- treasure them, 
for you will find these qualities scarce among us.

Love a dog for who he is,
because he loves you unconditionally and without expectations...
