Hug a Dog
Be a friend

Happiness is a warm puppy.
Charles Schulz
Dogs are full of love
But sometimes I have found that
Our dogs need hugs too
Dogs are everywhere in our world, hundreds of millions of dogs. They have been with us for a long time, thousands of years.
Compared to many other animals, dogs are hyper sociable. The relationship between dogs and humans may have begun, long ago, as a transactional exchange, but it has developed into love on both our parts. Now dogs live in our homes and in our hearts, as loving friends and devoted companions.
The little dog in the image is Daisy, a rescue dog adopted by my daughter. Standing on her very short hind legs is her go-to trick, actually, her only trick. She does this when she wants anything: attention, treats and most dearly loved of all, back-scratching.
Here is a warm, entertaining story about puppies from Robert Sedam, DVM.
