Well said! So what is it about a dog’s death that so shatters us, how is it that we ever come to love them so deeply? I think a big part of answer is in that 100% pure and snow-white soul that they exhibit in their interactions with their human companions. You will encounter no lingering resentment, no betrayal nor hidden agendas, they don’t make value judgments, they don’t complain or gossip, they don’t plot revenge. Probably another part of the answer is that they underscore it’s really not the material things that matter in life: this is a notion that, deep down, I think we truly treasure and like to be reminded of. And was it all worth it? Absolutely and unequivocally – a trillion times over. By living with a dog, you’ll learn a lot about the nobler virtues of compassion, empathy, devotion, forgiveness, generosity, kindness, patience, tolerance and even humor. Your perspectives will change for the better, and especially in the aftermath of the dog’s eventual death, you will notice that you have evolved into a more magnanimous person. Time and technology may keep bringing constant change, but these virtues will always have a welcome place in the world.
