On 7 Sep 12, I lost my most faithful and loyal friend… My family dog, named Pringles.
Pringles was a Great Pyrenees dog. Pringles was 200 hundred pounds of pure white canine love, devotion, and doggone honest devotion to his Alpha Master, friend and owner. I loved this dog with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. A human knows not what happiness is, until owning a good dog.
Man’s world today is full of tyranny, evil, and epic proportions of untrustworthy events that speak of a coming apocalypse of national proportions. Yet, when I always went home after a day of hardship, toil, despair of the world tyranny and evil events that surround me and you in this world of today, I found it easy to put aside the world and evil doers, as soon as I saw my loyal canine friend, anxiously waiting for me, wagging his big white tail, when I drove into my country lane. At that moment, each and every day, I would thank God for my life, which was surrounded by the happiness of my dog.
I rarely speak of my personal life to the public. My life is personal and fulfilled, and belongs to me. I seek no reward, power, or publicity for my family. But I have now lost forever, my closest friend and most loyal companion in life. My family dog Pringles. If a human does not comprehend the “intrinsic value” of a dog, then this article and true story will have little to no impact on their lives. The point of this story is not to educate you but to “honor” my lost canine friend and pal, and let the world know, that my dog Pringles gave me more happiness than any human should be worthy to receive. Pringles, as my dog, never asked me questions or made demands or power trips on me. Pringles, being a canine, is not human, and the time we spent together was not as a human owner to canine animal. It was an Alpha dog and respectful companion animal – owner bond that only an “animal lover” with compassion, can even begin to understand.
Life is no picnic, and in the coming apocalypse of tyranny at our doorsteps, it will now be more difficult to bear, now that Pringles will not be there in my drive to greet me every day, and spend quality time with his Alpha Male master, romping and playing in the yard, sharing treats, and just knowing we loved each other each and every day.
No… it will be difficult now that my dog Pringles has gone to eternity in life. Dogs and animals do have eternal life. This I know! But as hard as it is to lose my canine friend, I recognize that God’s plan in life includes death as part of the eternal growing plan to gain salvation. No religion, no Bible beating, No preaching to the choir, just plain and simple LOVE for a creature God made to help teach man, how to be a good human, by respecting and protecting the innocence in the animals they possess.
The healing power of our dogs
A famous dog quote still very true: "There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face."
All pet owners know the health benefits of having pets. It's those that do not own one that still need to be convinced. For thousands of years, humans and dogs have co-existed with each other for mutual benefits. However, for humans, the medical benefits of having a dog around may be more profound. In 1962, child psychologist Boris Levinson reported significant improvement in several of his clients when he began bringing his dog, Jingles, to work with him. The first therapy dog was Jingles, who accidentally walked into the job due to his master, Dr. Boris Levinson. Dr. Levinson, a psychologist, noticed that he was able to reach a disturbed child when Jingles was present. I am sure we have all heard it time and time again. Having a pet adds to healing power. When I first got my cats, and later, my dog, I loved having them around, but could never quite grasp the concept that they are good for my health. Dog is truly a man's best friend in more ways than one. Not only do these furry friends provide companionship and unconditional love, owning a pet may have many positive health benefits. Although most dog lovers have long extolled the medical benefits of dog ownership, it has been only a few years since reputable medical associations have studied this canine/human relationship with an eye toward understanding their healing power. The Power of Love and Companionship using dogs for healing, therapy, companionship, or emotional support is not a new thing in our world. But what has become new is the extent of its popularity and success rates in the United States and Canada.
What I hope to achieve by this article is the Power of the “WORD” to let each person who reads this article to finally discover the power of the religion of “The Dog.”
God giving man a good dog, is truly a miracle! God bless my dog Pringles! God, my dog is now in your hands. Honor him, and take care of him, until I, too, will die one fine day and see my loyal and faithful canine friend waiting for me at those pearly gates. But God, the happiness my dog Pringles gave me will keep me breathing and keep me hoping for more miracles to find the peace and love my dog Pringles has given me for so many years. When I now cry, it will not be for the “loss” of my dog, but for the “happiness” my Pringles has given to me. My dog has shown me how to be a better human.
God bless you, Pringles. You, my loyal and loving dog, will never be forgotten. And one fine day, we will see each other again, in eternity…
But not yet, my Pringles… Not Yet!
In summary, regarding my “religion of the dog” statement, I say: Preserve common sense in our "Kindness" to all owner's animals, kindness for each other in society by not 'over-reacting' to dog attacks being promoted in “propaganda” media attacks to obtain 'bad' animal care and control legislation. It's that simple. It will make the world a better place for all of us if we only give our dogs love, teach them kindness for each of us and each other, and give kindness to all animals, with a chance to thrive in preserving dog and pet ownership with freedom of property responsibility. And allow the newly defined “religion of the dog” to take hold in your own home. God bless our dogs, and their power to heal our troubles and pain.
You may never look at your dog the same way again after reading this article! That would be a miracle!
I Say: “A man's religion is not worth its salt, if his dogs are not the better for it.” AMEN to my dog Pringles!
