NURTURING NATURE

Humans are confusing sometimes. They believe themselves to be more superior to any other earthly being or creature and yet show so little regard from one another. Dogs treat each other better than humans treat each other sometimes. In fact, dogs could teach humans a few things about how to treat humans. If you are paying attention, we’re teaching you every day.

For example, the wolf dog in the video below has so much empathy that it howls to quiet a distressed baby.


Zorro, in this video, gently but consistently protects the family baby.


In this video, a dog hears the cry of an abandoned baby in Argentina. She rescues the infant, takes it to her bed where she is nursing pups and keeps her safe until humans are alerted.


Each and every time, these dogs, like most of us canine kind, had the love, compassion, alertness and loyalty to other living beings to step in and protect them. Heck, I remember seeing news clips about one man who was hit by a car and another man who was stabbed when he rescued a woman being attacked for her purse who were both ignored (rather than helped) by other humans.

So, here’s my lesson of the day… You don’t have to be a human to do the right thing or treat people with kindness and compassion but if you are a human, you should be doing these things better and more often than a dog.

Okay, here’s the question of the day from Shiloh who asked: Mom hates bringing water for me when we zoom around in the car because the water spills when I drink it unless we stop and put the bowl on the ground. Do you have a solution for my human’s problem?


Dear Shiloh:
What you need is the ‘To Go Bowl’ from helping udders. This handy, collapsible bowl is unique because the bottom fits inside a typical car cup holder.
