3 Life Lessons We Learn From Dogs

This Thanksgiving, we have so much to be thankful for. And the life lessons we learn from our dogs is just one of those many things.

Here are three life lessons we learn from our dogs:

1. Contentment
   Have you ever seen a dog that wasn’t content with what he had in life? They don’t lie around daydreaming about what they could have, or what could be. Give them a toy, food, and someone to love and play with, and they will be eternally grateful.
   
2. Selflessness
   Our pups (especially labs!) live to please us. Through training as a puppy to an old dog, they just want to make us happy. It’s that look in their eye. Like we walk on water. Nothing matters more to them than their humans.
   
3. Unconditional Love
   Above all, our dogs teach us unconditional love. They will love us no matter what, until they cross the rainbow bridge. And they love and us and trust us to decide when it’s time to let them go. They will love us for a lifetime, even if that lifetime is just not long enough.

 

They teach us so much more than even these, and that’s why we love them so. So this holiday season, try to be more like your dog! And be thankful for what you have, think less of yourself, and love unconditionally.

Happy Thanksgiving, from our family to yours!
