Where does the love of a dog come from?

From deep inside of the soul, from the heart.

Why is it so deep?

It is unconditional, from the beginning, to the end.

Is it different than human love?

Very, it is without language, it never fades or tires,

there are no words, only feelings, and feelings do not fade.

Does it last?

Long and deep.

Is it unconditional?

No, it requires us to be loving, patient,

attentive.

It is like a human friendship?

It is not, it is ancient, instinctive, loyal,

boundless, driven by faith and commitment.

Do they love us back?

Yes, but not in the same way we love them,

love for them is not the same thing as it is for us,

they are not human, they love with their whole

bodies and beings, they are faithful to death,

and giving beyond.

They love us in our smells, the feelings we send,

the ancient images in their genes,

for every dog was

born to find a person and love them,

and love them every minute of every day for all of life.

There is no other love like that.
