Think Like a Dog

If you have ever had a rescue dog, you will recognize the truth in the following passage.

"Even if the dog has had his share of misery in the past--and here is the great lesson we can take from dogs--he somehow manages, without the benefit of analysis, to overcome the past, to emerge from a time of sorrow with a strange kind of optimism: He wishes to love again. He must love again." -J.M. Masson, DOGS NEVER LIE ABOUT LOVE.

Masson goes on to say that children have this same optimism until taught by adults not to have it.
