I’m sitting in my doggie bed listening to Jet (my foster mom). She’s talking up a blue streak (as usual) about a guy named Luke who tells the world about a good Samaritan in a storybook called the Bible.
As Luke tells it, this guy (a Jew) from Jerusalem was taking a walk to a place called Jericho. A gang of thieves pounced on him, beat him up and robbed him of everything and then left him on the road to die. (Bummer.)
A priest came by and pretended not to see the hurt man. A Levite (church official) looked at the injured man but didn’t help him. Then a Samaritan guy caught sight of the wounded man and felt bad for him that is weird because Samaritans don’t like the Jew humans. The Samaritan bound up his wounds and then he lifted him carefully on his donkey and brought him to a hotel where he took care of him all night. He even told the hotel owner to take care of the Jew because he had to move on. Weird how some humans fail each other at the most unexpected time where others become heroes, Samaritans.
There’s a human I know and she’s a dog Samaritan. She buys collapsible dog food bowls in volume from the Dollar Store to keep in her car along with dog food. If she ever sees a dog on the streets or highway (or anywhere) that she can’t capture and take to a rescue place, she leaves them food and water.
So, here’s my lesson of the day… When a dog or human disaster strikes, be a Samaritan spirited hero and take action to help. You save lives, you’ll feel better and maybe Luke will write a story about you too.
Q Okay, the question of the day is from Pokie who asked: I saw the Dog Whisperer on TV today. He says that President Obama is raising his dog wrong. What do you think?
Dear Pokie:
How the president is raising his dog is the least of our problems since the only thing Obama is ‘raising’ well is our taxes and unemployment.
