Iditarod And Learning About Love And Happiness

Ruby - AKC registered Siberian Husky

“Mostly, it was just me walking them. My own private Iditarod. And it wasn’t a picnic. Just so you know, if you ever see a person walking four dogs, there are two things you can cross off your list of what to exclaim: (1) “Who’s walking who?” and (2) “Looks like you got your hands full.” Both lines are stupid and someone else has already said them. You might consider saying, “Hey, pretty girl!” or “Wow, four dogs sure make you look thin!”

Happiness is wordless. Dogs show us that without speaking our language. Love can also be a wordless communication. We can learn to recognize that wordless happiness and learn a lot about human love, by caring for a dog.
