Through My Dog's Eyes

It's been another year without my little Samantha girl. I know, each year I write about her on this day. It seems a bit morbid to commemorate the day she passed, but to me, it's more a tribute to the sweet little Sammy that I held so dear - and a chance to share my love for her with all of you! She was my best friend, for that matter, everyone's best friend. Her love knew no bounds. She could make you feel like the most important person in the world, the way only your dog can do. We so often take this unconditional love for granted. We expect it because we grow used to it, but I wanted to take time out to remember what a blessing it is to have a dog. Their love is a reminder of all that is good in the world, and they make us better people. I know my Samantha made me a better person, and I can't thank her enough for everything she taught me. She loved me no matter what. And I loved her, and always will.

So in Sammy's memory, I ask that we all consider too just how much our dogs love us, and how much they give unconditionally to us. And then let that serve as a daily reminder of how we too should see the world. Through our dogs' eyes.

  1. Hi Layne!

    It's me again, Tammy the Marketing Coordinator at The Uncommon Dog. We just finished another informative info-graphic that I thought you might be interested in. It's titled "How Dogs Became Our Best Friends!".

    If you love dogs, like we do, then you'll love this story. Recent scientific breakthroughs have increased our understanding about how dogs have come to play such an integral part of our daily lives. This fun and engaging info-graphic tells that story in a way that we hope makes it accessible and interesting to everyone.

    If you would like to share this info-graphic with your readers, please feel free to do so. You can find the info-graphic here: http://www.theuncommondog.com/how-dogs-became-our-best-friends.aspx Again, all we ask in return is that you link back to TheUncommonDog.com, in some way, from your post.

    Also, definitely let me know if you do decide to post it because we'd be happy to spread the word again about the blog post by linking to it from our Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ pages.

    If you'd like your e-mail removed from our mailing list, please let us know.
