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...
