I used to be terrified of dogs. That’s probably because when I was much younger, I was almost bitten by a stray. For years after that fearful incident, whenever I saw a dog I would stay as far away as I could. I even remember jumping onto the sofas in my friends’ house just to avoid coming into contact with their dogs.

I know I know… it’s rather silly… but back then the phobia was so real. I’m really glad that in recent years, I have learned to let go of this irrational fear and grown to love these friendly, adorable and loyal creatures =)

Today, I just want to share with you something a friend sent me about dogs and life. Hope you like it!

    Hi SJ,

    Nice post you got there. I especially like quote by Twain, “If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

    I do love dogs. Loyal, protective, gently, good listeners, just everything you want in a friend. Sometimes it really breaks my heart to see some dogs are treated cruelly. Apparently, some people just don’t know how to value what they have.
