Trust
Unlike people, dogs don’t smile
and then go off and talk about you.
Dogs don’t seem to trust you while they doubt you
Dogs don’t follow you to pry
And find you out and gossip loudly
They follow you to keep close by and proudly
With dogs, I swear it never fails
(And you have doubtless seen it)
When dogs look up and wag their tails -
They mean it!

If you can
Start the day without caffeine
Get going without pep pills
Always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains
Resist complaining and boring people with your troubles
Eat the same food every day and be grateful for it
Understand when your loved one is too busy to give you any time
Take criticism and blame without resentment
Ignore a friend’s limited education and not correct her
Resist treating a rich friend better than a poor one
Face the world without lies or deceit
Conquer tension without medical help
Relax without the aid of drugs
Say honestly that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, colour or religion,
Then, my friend, you are almost as good as your dog!
- Anon
