Spiritual reflections on dogs can teach us lessons that just might save our lives. Thank God for dogs who remind us to be happy in the moment, for dogs who play with sticks and tennis balls and let them lie when they've had enough. Thank God for dogs who get us out and about, who remind us that it's not 'all about me' or even all about humans. Thank God for dogs who teach us about injury and pardon. Thank God for the bonds of love that endure. God help all creatures who do not feel safe or cared for and whose hearts have turned to aggression. Thank God for dogs who are secure enough to avoid conflict. Thank God for dogs who teach us about, and lead us into, friendship. Thank God for dogs who are compassionate and do not judge us for our social situation, who are patient and kind, do not take offence and are never resentful, and who are always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. Thank God for human beings who are hospitable to angels, those with wings and those with hairy faces.
