Me encantó ésta historia enviada por una gran amiga, amante de los perros como yo.
Quiero compartirla con ustedes, pues creo fervientemente que podemos aprender tanto del reino animal.
¿El propósito de un perro?
Siendo veterinario, fui llamado para examinar a un Sabueso Irlandes de 10 años de edad llamado Belker. Los dueños del perro: Ron, su esposa Lisa y su pequeño Shane, estaban muy apegados a Belker, y estaban esperando un milagro.
Examiné a Belker y descubrí que estaba muriendo de cáncer. Dije a su familia que no podíamos hacer ya nada por Belker, y me ofrecí para llevar cabo el procedimiento de eutanasia en su casa.
Hicimos los arreglos necesarios, Ron y Lisa dijeron que sería buena idea que el niño de 6 años, Shane, observara el suceso. Ellos sintieron que Shane podría aprender algo de la experiencia.
Al día siguiente, sentí la familiar sensación en mi garganta cuando Belker fue rodeado por la familia. Shane se veía tranquilo, acariciaba al perro por última vez, y yo me preguntaba si él comprendía lo que estaba pasando. En unos cuantos minutos Belker se quedó dormido pacíficamente para ya no despertar.
El pequeño niño pareció aceptar la transición de Belker sin ninguna dificultad o confusión. Nos sentamos todos por un momento preguntándonos el porqué del lamentable hecho de que la vida de las mascotas sea mas corta que la de los humanos.
Shane, que había estado escuchando atentamente, dijo: ''Yo se porqué.''
Sorprendidos, todos volteamos a mirarlo. Lo que dijo a continuación me maravilló, nunca he escuchado una explicación más reconfortante que ésta. En ese momento, cambió mi forma de ver la vida.
Dijo: ''La gente viene al mundo para aprender cómo vivir una buena vida --¿como amar a los demás todo el tiempo y ser buenas personas, verdad?'' El niño de 6 años continuó:
''Bueno, como los perros ya saben como hacer todo eso , pues no tienen que quedarse por tanto tiempo como nosotros.''
''Bueno, como los perros ya saben como hacer todo eso , pues no tienen que quedarse por tanto tiempo como nosotros.''
- Vive sencillamente.
- Ama generosamente.
- Quiere profundamente.
- Habla amablemente.
Recuerda, si un perro fuera tu maestro, aprenderías cosas como:
-Cuando tus seres queridos llegan a casa, siempre corre a saludarlos.
- Nunca dejes pasar una oportunidad para ir a pasear.
-Cuando tus seres queridos llegan a casa, siempre corre a saludarlos.
- Nunca dejes pasar una oportunidad para ir a pasear.
- Deja que la experiencia del aire fresco y del viento en tu cara sea de puro éxtasis.
- Toma siestas.
- Estírate antes de levantarte.
- Corre, brinca y juega a diario.
- Mejora tu atención y deja que la gente te toque.
- Evita morder cuando un simple gruñido seria suficiente.
- En días cálidos, recuéstate sobre tu espalda en el pasto.
- Cuando estés feliz, baila alrededor, y mueve todo tu cuerpo.
- Deléitate en la alegría simple de una larga caminata.
- Se leal.
- Deléitate en la alegría simple de una larga caminata.
- Se leal.
- Nunca pretendas ser algo que no eres.
- Si lo que quieres esta enterrado, escarba hasta que lo encuentres.
- Cuando alguien tenga un mal día, quédate en silencio, siéntate cerca y suavemente hazles sentir que estas ahí.
- Cuando alguien tenga un mal día, quédate en silencio, siéntate cerca y suavemente hazles sentir que estas ahí.
¡DISFRUTA CADA MOMENTO DE CADA DIA!
What is the purpose of a dog?
Being a veterinarian, I was called to examine a10-year-old Hound Irish named Belker. Dog owners Ron, his wife Lisa and their little Shane, were very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.
I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told his family and could not do anything for Belker, and offered to carry out the euthanasia procedure at home.
We made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told it would be good if the child of 6 years, Shane, to observe the event. They felt Shane could learn something from the experience.
The next day, I felt the familiar feeling in my throat as Belker was surrounded by family. Shane looked calm, petting the dog one last time, and I wondered if he understood what was happening. In a few minutes Belker went to sleep peacefully for longer awakening.
The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat for a moment wondering why the unfortunate fact that the lives of pets is shorter than that of humans.
Shane, who had been listening intently, said:''I know why.''
Surprised, everyone turned around to face him. What amazed me then said, I have never heard a more comforting explanation than this. At that time, changed my outlook on life.
He said:''People come into the world to learn how to live a good life - like loving others all the time and be good people, right?''The child age 6 continued:
''Well, dogs already know how to do all that they do not have to stay as long as we do.''
- Live simply.
- Love generously.
- Want deeply.
- Speak kindly.
Remember, if a dog were your teacher, learn things like:
"When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
- Never miss an opportunity to go for a walk.
- Allow the experience of fresh air and wind in your face is pure ecstasy.
- Take naps.
- Stretch before leaving.
- Run, jump and play daily.
- Improve your attention and let people touch you.
- Avoid biting when a simple growl would be enough.
- On warm days, lie on your back on the grass.
- When you're happy, dance around and moving your whole body.
- Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
- Be loyal.
- Never pretend to be something you're not.
- If what you want is buried, dig until you find it.
- When someone has a bad day, just remain silent, sit close and gently make them feel you're there.
ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY!
