Into the eyes of dogs

I had a funny day today... I said my goodbyes to 2 dogs after playing and having fun with them. Just before leaving home, I played with my pet dog Max and patted his head while saying goodbye. He somehow knew I was going away again as he stopped short of the house gate. I sat in my car and waited for a couple of minutes while he sat there staring at my car.




Then later I was at my friend's place; Sophia. Had fun playing with her pet dog Jackie. It really brings you down to Earth when a dog looks you in the eye. Its stirs something deep inside of you and brings a certain calmness to your heart. I don't know what it is and how to explain it but it happened twice today with Max and Jackie.

In times like I get a feeling that dogs are not man's best friend, but a reminder that man cannot foster such calmness in one's heart... We're not the greatest design...
