There are so many lessons one can learn about life..........A dog above all is truly man's best friend.

There are so many lessons one can learn about life from a dog. Imagine this scenario: it is raining heavily outside and you need to leave for someone's house. The dog is up and eager, to go with you. You tell it to stay home. As you leave, you see it squeezing out through the gap in the doorway. You scold it and order it back home. Then at every turn you make, you suddenly see it following you sheepishly at a distance. It follows at the risk of being reprimanded for the sore reason of being somewhere nearby. How else can we experience so selfless an instance of love and faithfulness? We can learn a lifelong lesson from this sincere warm display of perpetual companionship.

Observe the eating habits of your dog. It does not eat, except when hungry. It does not drink, unless it is thirsty. It does not gorge itself. It stops eating when it has had enough.

A dog also sets a perfect example of adaptability. If it is moved to a strange place, it is able to adapt itself to that place and to its thousand peculiarities without a murmur of complaint. It is able to learn and adapt to a new family's ways and customs. It is quick and ready to please. Man, being accustomed tocomfort and wealth will be lost if suddenly stripped of all he is accustomed to.

A dog also teaches us a thing or two about, unselfish love. When a dog knows death is approaching, it tries, with its last vestige of strength, to crawl away elsewhere to die, in order to burden its owners no more.

A dog does things with all vigor. However, when there is nothing to do, it lies down and rests. It does not waste its strength and energy needlessly. Many working people are burning the candles at both ends. Many suffer nervous breakdowns due to stress. Perhaps, they should learn to rest like a dog does.

A dog above all is truly man's best friend.  

Summary: Dogs can teach us many lessons of life. It can teach us through its acts of love and faithfulness, endangering itself just to accompany you. We can also learn from its eating habits. It will never over-indulge and knows which food to avoid. Dogs are also able to adapt to its surroundings quickly without complaining as compared to man who complains at the slightest change. Dogs are also unselfish, choosing not to burden his loved ones but to go away and die. Dogs also know when to work and when to play. They do not waste their efforts unnecessarily like some of us do at work. Thus, dogs can set us great examples through their day-to-day living.
