try whispering to your dog

 

 

Say what?

 

We’re not as special as we think we are…

 

We don’t really rule the earth,

we can’t fly,

or snooze at the bottom

   of the deep end of the pool,

and we can’t even roll over when we’re born,

we tend to be messy

   when we’re not paying attention,

most of us think wearing shoes is normal,

we think dirt is dirty,

we don’t like to admit

   that we eat dead things,

and we think a horse whisperer

   is some weird guy,

we think reading and writing

   is our thing,

and we think “Sparky, here boy!”

   is the right way to call the pup,

and we ignore this mystery:

 

What if your dog can talk,

   but he won’t?
