I have had to put down a couple of dogs in my life. It broke my heart every time. Dogs are an amazing animal. They have so become a part of human evolution that because of the keen senses of hearing, smell, loyalty, aggressiveness and devotion to those who accept them into a family our evolution and survival as a species on this planet for have been very difficult if not impossible. Our continued survival depends on them in so many ways. Dogs are an incredibly mood affective animal. When we’re happy, they’re happy, when we’re sad so are they. Science has recently learned that dogs use the same area of the brain humans do to understand speech. They do know what we’re saying to them. Treated with even a modicum of kindness and care dogs will be devoted companions. I’d love to adopt another one but my wife and I are getting up in years and honestly I don’t have the heart to again someday have to take another ‘’man’s best friend’’ to be put down.
One of the greatest gifts our Creator has bestowed upon us.
