the reason i love dogs
i never thought about the reason
i just made the connection of being raised with dogs
but today i realized it goes past that
that is where my attachment lies
that is where i had my connection, to life, to empathy
had it not been for dogs i don't think i would have ever formed a connection to a living thing
yet now I can't imagine my life without dogs, i feel sad when a dog is not around because a dog loves you just for being human, it does not know what you've done nor does it care, it is this creature that is so full of love and his/her history is one that is equally as sad as yours, dogs carry histories as humans and have the ability to show the most empathy, therefore I think they were my role models for empathetic emotions, i had no human role model but i had enough dogs to show that life had some moments of happiness
I am grateful that of all the things that happened in my life, I had that connection because I could not see my life without it, and although it's hard for me to form the connections with humans, I know that I can form them based on the connections I have with animals
