An Animal For A Day

If I could be anyone or anything for a day I would be an animal, a dog to be more specific. They get to do whatever they want for the whole day. They have such an open mind to the world around them. They never seemed to bother at what will happen next to them. They're much like free spirits that touch our lives one way or another.

They see the world in black and white. Since they really are like spirits from another world they see the great in people and they see the faults in people. They are always reliable to people and will be their owners' second mind without a second to waste. They are animals who see right through everyone's souls.

They see the world from down below. They look up to everyone to move along. Most of the time we think we guide them along the path. Although they lead the way whether we want them to or not. They help us make the most minor decisions. Whether it's to walk straight ahead or turn or chase them down the streets. Dog are such great leaders. That is a quality that I admire greatly.

They know how to survive. When they're on their own they know what it takes. If it means that you eat out of the trash so you don't go hungry they will do that. If it means you have to find shelter at night they will. If they have to run away from the dogcatcher when they want to take you to the pound, they will run until their legs won't run no more. They survive anything life has to throw at them. That is a great quality that most of us don't have. We are too much comfortable in our surroundings to be stripped of it then to be expected to survive.

The last reason why I would want to be a dog for a day is because theyare here for just the simple things in life. They look for love and mostly find it. They can give you the puppy dog look and get away with things. Most importantly they get to lay around most of the day and get to ponder in their own thoughts about life around them.
