The power of dog

Power of dog love

There is sorrow enough in the natural way

From men and women to fill our day;

And when we are certain of sorrow in store,

Why do we always arrange for more?

Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware

Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.

Buy a pup and your money will buy

Love unflinching that cannot lie,

Perfect passion and worship fed

By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.

Nevertheless it is hardly fair

To risk your heart for a dog to tear.

When the fourteen years which Nature permits

Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits,

And the vet’s unspoken prescription runs

To lethal chambers or loaded guns,

Then you will find-it’s your own affair,

But … you’ve given your heart to a dog to tear.

When the body that lived at your single will,

With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!).

When the spirit that answered your every mood

Is gone-wherever it goes-for good,

You will discover how much you care,

And will give your heart to a dog to tear.

We’ve sorrow enough in the natural way,

When it comes to burying Christian clay.

Our loves are not given, but only lent,

At compound interest of cent per cent.

Though it is not always the case, I believe,

That the longer we’ve kept ’em, the more do we grieve:

For, when debts are payable, right or wrong,

A short-time loan is as bad as a long,

So why in-Heaven (before we are there)

Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?

Dogs are often referred to as "man's best friend," and for good reason. Their love and loyalty are unmatched, and they have a special place in the hearts of millions of people all over the world.

Dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years and have evolved to become one of the most beloved pets in the world. They come in all shapes and sizes, from the tiny Chihuahua to the giant Great Dane, and each breed has its unique characteristics and personality.

One of the most remarkable things about dogs is their capacity for love. They have an innate ability to form strong emotional bonds with their owners, and this bond can be incredibly powerful. Dogs are highly social animals and thrive on human interaction, which makes them incredibly loyal and affectionate pets.

For many people, their dog is not just a pet but a member of their family. Dogs have an incredible ability to sense our emotions, and they often provide comfort and support when we need it most. They are always there to greet us with wagging tails and wet noses, and their unwavering love and devotion can be a source of great comfort and joy.

One of the most amazing things about dog love is that it's unconditional. Dogs don't care about our faults or flaws; they love us for who we are. They are always there to offer comfort and support, no matter what challenges we may be facing in life. This unconditional love can be incredibly healing and can help us to feel more connected and supported.

Dogs also have an incredible ability to teach us about love. They demonstrate love in its purest form, and their unwavering devotion can inspire us to be more loving and compassionate in our own lives. They teach us the importance of loyalty, kindness, and forgiveness, and they remind us of the simple joys of life, such as taking a walk in the park or playing fetch in the backyard.

In conclusion, dog love is a special kind of love that is truly unique. Dogs have an incredible capacity for love, and their unwavering loyalty and affection can be a source of great comfort and joy. They teach us about the importance of unconditional love and remind us of the simple joys of life. For many people, their dog is not just a pet but a beloved member of their family, and the bond between a dog and their owner is truly something special.
