I have had five dogs in my lifetime: two german shepherds, and three terriers (Norwich and Westie). I have learned that dogs are no different from humans, and I could go further to say that they outsmart us, if you allow me to explain upon meeting me. Dogs are highly receptive creatures, that understand other's feelings better than we understand our own. I have also learned that dogs act according to how we feel when they are on a leash. Any bad behavior could be changed with a change in our behavior. I love all animals but dogs seem to share a certain energetic frequency with me. I've had stranger's dogs crash against my knees and collapse playfully with me. Suffice it to say. I love dogs.
