Why We Love Puppies

What is it about puppies that make us feel everything is good in life?

To begin with, it’s a set up. We purposely pursue feelings that we know we enjoy.

Puppies take us to an emotional joy where love is unconditional

How often do we have the excuse to talk like we do when we are oogling someone’s cute new dog?

I saw a 3 month old boxer the other day that I think I would have taken in a heartbeat. I have always wanted a boxer and this epitomized the feelings.

We love the innocence. What is happier and friendlier than a puppy? They love you unconditionally. Tell me, how many people love you unconditionally? Even your kids have big conditions. Your mate has big conditions. Dogs don’t and especially puppies.

You realize they just ache to picked up and held and they want to lick your face. Even my best lines never got that immediate of a reaction.

We are immediately connected to Mother Nature. Only life can deliver something this precious.

When you grab their little chins and they jump on you like their long lost cousin, your whole face breaks into a great smile.

You tell yourself you want the puppy right now. How many things requiring so much care would make you commit that fast? I spend a lot more time than that in the store  committing to the coffee I want to buy.

It’s an immediate connection to the best that is in you and you know it.

If you could feel that several times a day, you would be a better person; we all would.

How many things take you to that place in yourself that fast?

If we felt that way about each other, we would all be happier.

If nations could be bonded like that we could work out our conflicts and trade so much easier.

The world needs more puppies.
