Make a Fool of Yourself with Your Dog

“The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too!”      Samuel Butler

Have you ever walked over something that made you trip and you quickly look back – not to see what you tripped on but to see who’s laughing at you?  Why is watching someone almost fall so funny?  I think our dogs are more kind when we make a fool of ourselves than human observers!

My advice – when you are out in public, take a dog.  No one will notice you as you trip over the invisible crack in the sidewalk.  Your dog will, but I can promise that he’ll trip along with you and stop to lick you if you’re down.
