Is your Dog Crazy ?
Firstly, let me start by wishing everybody a happy and healthy 2012, and let’s hope that we and our dogs get all we wish for this year.
I am sure we are all sick of over eating and being stuck in front of the TV over the holiday, and it’s time to get right back out there, and shake the cobwebs off.
Having said that there were some good films on TV, and it amazes me the amount of dogs that are used in the making of these films, mostly portrayed as man’s best friend.
One film I watched, and really enjoyed, wasn’t about a Dog but a Beaver, starring Mel Gibson, and titled, no prizes for guessing this one…..The Beaver
In this film the main character is suffering from a breakdown, states that “Crazy is pretending to be happy” and if this is the case, then I suppose we are all a little bit crazy.
That’s one thing then that our dogs can never be called, as they never pretend to be anything but themselves. The human equivalent would be the not too common person that speaks their mind, stands on their own two feet, doesn’t go along with the crowd and stands up for the values they uphold.
You often hear people say that such and such a dog is crazy, but most of us know that in fact it’s the person on the other end of the lead that is responsible for any one dogs actions through lack of socialisation, training, correct diet, and not fulfilling the dogs needs by way of exercise requirements for the breed.
Maybe one of our New Years Resolutions should be to become more like our dogs, as pretending to be anything different from who you really are, surely is Crazy !
