The tricks dogs teach us are more important than any tricks we can ever teach them. We teach them to beg, roll over and fetch. They teach us about loyalty, friendship, enthusiasm, joy, patience, forgiveness and unconditional love. This lovely gift book by the author of What Dogs Teach Us (more than 200,000 sold) offers a heart-warming look at the life lessons dogs have to offer us, such as: - No whining. Why do we complain so much? Isn't that one of the things we like about dogs? -They don't complain.After dealing all day with criticisms, whines and complaints everywhere we turn - from the boss, from fellow workers, from customers, from commuters - it's refreshing to come home and be greeted with happiness, acceptance and an enthusiastic kiss - Just say thanks.Dogs are so appreciative of even the slightest favor or attention - a pat on the head, a dog biscuit, a romp in the back yard. We, on the other hand, rarely stop to express our appreciation for anything. If we said thank you as often and as sincerely as dogs do, we might find we like each other as much as we like our dogs.
