I remember when my dad used to teasingly say these words to us when we used to be kids. All me and my brother will do was to shout and scream and complain...

In my office, we try to discuss some state of the art technologies, which eventually turned boring. So keep up the pace, we picked up politics. Nah! not something I liked to talk about -dropped! And finally, we come up with an apt topic. "Dogs are far superior than humans" -I couldnt agree more. He told me humans are made of 'humans'... they think and act like humans, and so canot do any better than what they do now. Given a second chance to re-live the same life, he is bound to adopt the same choices he made,,, because he is made of the same entities that keep motivating him to take the same decisions.

I remember the day my dog's soul departed its four years' shelter... It was 5:00am.

Till ten hours prior to that moment I discovered he wasnt moving anymore, I was making frequent checks on him. I knew he was in so much pain.. he was whining at such a low volume. Each time I went close to him, he stopped his whining!

Amazing, I thought.,.. think of humans who would want every one around him to know what pain they are going through. They would want all their close ones to be with them at the moment they are going to breathe their last... they want to cling to their close ones, and have one last glimpse.... look what attachments made to him...

Take my dog.. who did not want to show us what pain he was going through. He died in one dark corner of my garden... he was probably thinking that we would never discover he was dead(!?) But its not that I am talking about -its his whole thought process that pressed him not to trouble someone he should really be "loyal" to.

If a dog could do that to his master, and be so thoughtful... think of us humans. Think how much loyalty we should be showing to the others, especially to the spouses. Next time, your wife whom you married through the arranged-marriage-parents-make-the-right-match custom, disrespects you, or treats you bad, you know you could have rather settled for a b-itch!
