It\u2019s been often said that dogs are the only creatures on earth that love you more than they love themselves. Well, ain\u2019t that the truth!<\/h2>\n

1. Don\u2019t be upset when I jump for joy when you come through the door.<\/h2>\n

I only live for ten or fifteen years. You are what makes that time enjoyable. It\u2019s hard on me when you go away.<\/p>\n

\"\"

2.\u00a0Give me time to understand what you want from me.<\/h2>\n

I don\u2019t always get it right on the first try, but I promise I\u2019m trying as hard as I can.<\/p>\n

\"\"
source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Don\u2019t be angry with me for too long.<\/h2>\n

And please don\u2019t lock me up to punish me. You have your friends and family to keep you happy and entertained. I just have you.<\/p>\n

\"\"
source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

4.\u00a0Give me your trust.<\/h2>\n

Just like I trust you, I need you to trust me, too.<\/p>\n

\"\"
source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Take me inside when the weather gets bad.<\/h2>\n

The backyard doesn\u2019t have air conditioning or a heater. You don\u2019t have to let me on the couch, but a small part of the kitchen is much better than sleeping in the snow.<\/p>\n

\"\"
source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

6.\u00a0Remember that I\u2019ll never forget how you treat me.<\/h2>\n

Teach me that humans are made of love, not pain. And don\u2019t ever let me forget it.<\/p>\n

\"\"
source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0Talk to me.<\/h2>\n

Sure, we don\u2019t speak the same language, but the sound of your voice brightens my whole day.<\/p>\n

\"\"
source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

8.\u00a0Come outside with me.<\/h2>\n

The sights, sounds, and scents of nature are some of my greatest pleasures in life. I don\u2019t care if we play, go for a walk, or just sit under a tree together \u2014 I want you to experience them with me.<\/p>\n

\"\"
source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0Give me a treat ever once in a while.<\/h2>\n

Food is one of my greatest pleasures in life. I know you want me to be healthy, so I understand when you don\u2019t share your own meals with me. But giving me a dog biscuit when I\u2019ve been good or mixing tasty vegetables mixed in with my dinner is guaranteed to make me wag my tail extra hard.<\/p>\n

\"\"
source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

10.\u00a0Let me make new friends.<\/h2>\n

Introduce me to other dogs, cats, or even bigger animals. We might now get along in the end, but having some more friends that look and smell like me makes my life that much brighter.<\/p>\n

\"\"
source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

11.\u00a0Please don\u2019t hit me.<\/h2>\n

I have teeth that can crush bone. Instead, I cover you in sloppy, wet kisses. Just as I choose not to hurt you, please make the choice to not hurt me.<\/p>\n

\"\"
source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

12.\u00a0Show me your world.<\/h2>\n

The house and yard might be the only places I ever see unless you let me come with you. A trip to the pet store, the park, or even just a ride in the car is exhilarating for me. I can\u2019t wait to see what you want to show me.<\/p>\n

\"\"
source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

13.\u00a0Understand when I need my alone time.<\/h2>\n

I love you more than anything, but even though it\u2019s rare, I don\u2019t always want to play or cuddle. Don\u2019t be sad if I\u2019d rather sleep on the cold tile floor instead of in your bed on hot summer nights, and be understanding if I don\u2019t want to play as much as the years go on.<\/p>\n

\"\"
source<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

14.\u00a0Teach me new things.<\/h2>\n

Learning new tricks keeps my mind active, but most of all, it gives me a way to impress you. I love showing off for your friends, looking up at you, and seeing how proud of me you are.<\/p>\n

\"\"
source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

15.\u00a0Pay attention if I don\u2019t seem like myself.<\/h2>\n

It might seem like I\u2019m just being lazy or stubborn, but I might not be feeling well. I can\u2019t get help for myself, and I need you to look out for me.<\/p>\n

\"\"
source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

16.\u00a0Let me get dirty once in a while.<\/h2>\n

Your world is inside, but I thrive outdoors. Sometimes I find a lot of mud or a lake that smells like all of its fishy inhabitants. I understand if you don\u2019t want to wash all that stuff off every day, but as long as it\u2019s safe, let me go back to my wild roots every now and then.<\/p>\n

\"\"
source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

17.\u00a0Love me when I\u2019m old just as much as you did when I was young.<\/h2>\n

I might not be the cute puppy that I once was, but I still love you just as much now as I did then. Please take care of me when my body doesn\u2019t work like it used to.<\/p>\n

\"\"
source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

18.\u00a0Come with me on my final journey.<\/h2>\n

I know it will be difficult, but I need you by my side when the time comes for me to leave this world. Every moment down to my last breath is easier if I have you with me.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are born so that they can learn how to live a good Life \u2014 like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right? Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don\u2019t have to stay as long.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2013 Spoken by a 6 year old boy who had just lost his family\u2019s 10 year old, Belker, to cancer.<\/p>\n

And even when I\u2019m gone\u2026 remember these words.<\/p>\n
