Need a Break from Stress? Hug a Dog.

Several weeks ago, I sat and watched the news. There was death and destruction in the middle east whilst the streets of greece exploded in anger. The news today was no better. Accidents. Corruption. Violence. It was heartbreaking to watch. I turned off the television and called my fox terrier, chappie, over to me. 

I wanted a timeout from humans. 

I stroked him, and he patiently snuggled me back. He knew exactly what I needed.  

It's heartbreaking to feel the pain humans inflict on one another. I often find myself shaking my head whilst watching all the suffering throughout the world. It brings me to my knees. If there is a god why is he not intervening? Surely God did not intend for humans to be so cruel.

In His great wisdom, God gave us dogs to remind us there is still goodness in this world. And there is no greater comfort than my dog's unconditional love.

 

But dogs serve us in other ways as well: They are called on for dangerous search and rescue missions. Military and police K9s serve on the front lines during times of war and civil unrest. Researchers have discovered that dogs can detect cancer or the early onset of a seizure. Dogs guide those in a sightless world and perform services for their humans who are unable to manage on their own. 

And dogs do these things without expecting payment or recognition, only the occasional treat and belly rub. They make the world a better place simply by being themselves.

Chappie has never done anything heroic by those standards. However, he has completely changed my life over the last 10 years

The next time you are overwhelmed by the world and all of its craziness, try hugging a dog. It will certainly ease the hurt and stress that humans can inflict. I’m not quite sure what we did to deserve such amazing companions, but we are blessed to have them.
