What a Blessing Animals Are

Yesterday, we went biking and saw two EXTREMELY cute long-haired chihuahuas. One had sort of black hair, and the other one was a light brown. But the light brown one was walking differently. My mom and I looked to see what was wrong.

The light brown one had only three legs. Bless his heart! However, he was walking around with his tail wagging and couldn't have been a happier dog. If he fell for a split second, he would just get back up, forget it never happened, and keep walking with a bright face.

This is a perfect example of showing how animals are so resilient. They can move on easily and still enjoy life, something that most humans need to work on.

Another thing: Animals are never self conscious about themselves. They don't care what other people think. It's almost as if they believe that it's what's on the inside that counts. That little chihuahua looked like he was living the moment as best as he could, almost as if he didn't even know he was missing a leg. He didn't care what other people thought. He would just look up at them and wag his tail with a happy dog face.

You see how lucky we are to have the animals that we do? So, why do people get aggrivated at animals if they do something wrong? You might see people mistreating their dog if the dog doesn't do something on command. There is no such thing as bad dogs. Just bad owners.

A dog is just being a dog. So, why get mad at him for doing his instincts? A dog doesn't know any better unless you teach him with patience. Key word: Patience.

Animals are so peaceful and beautiful. And if we are so lucky to have animals, why do some people mistreat them?

Put a stop to animal cruelty NOW. And help to protect wildlife.
