Remember your mother telling you never to pet a strange dog? Well, I'd trust a dog more than I would a human . For instance , a dog will show you it's true colors from the start, a human will wear a mask, put on a fake smile, and you don't know their intentions until it's too late. Humans are great at masking hatred, evil, and bitterness , unlike a dog, they show only love and hate. True feelings are hidden well with a tethered mask in all of us, no matter what you feel , the mask stays on. Remove the mask, and take a dog's life as an example, show your true colors up front, tell the truth, and make your feelings be known and you'll be a much centered, happy person all around.....
