A Dog Is A Pure Love

Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate.” Sigmund Freud

“The better I get to know people, the more I find myself loving dogs.” Charles de Gaulle, former President of France.On the face of it, preferring a dog over humans seems absurd. After all, dogs’ thinking is limited, their speech non-existent. Yet, especially if people haven’t been reliably kind to you, a dog offers certain advantages:

Reliability. A dog will always be there for you. Compare that with the human divorce rate.

Non-judgmentalness. A dog will never disparage you. As was made famous by psychotherapist Carl Rogers, non-judgmental listening can often be of great benefit.
