For as long as I live I will never stop marvelling at dogs.
Dogs are many things. In a sense they have as many likes and dislikes as us humans. But the one thing that is unique to these beautiful animals is their unconditionality. That, especially, shows through in the way that they care and love the humans and dogs around them.
This story on The Dodo emphasised that special way they care for their fellow dogs. Read it and you will see what I mean.

Camera Catches Dog Bringing His Bed To His Sick Brother So He’s Comfy
“As he’s dragging it he’s looking at Roman almost to say, ‘This is for you’”
By Caitlin Jill Anders

From the moment they became brothers, Spanky has always adored and looked up to his big brother Roman. He follows Roman everywhere he goes, and is always happiest whenever they’re together.
“Roman is definitely Spanky’s security blanket,” Jackie Rogers, Roman and Spanky’s aunt, told The Dodo. “Spanky will do nothing without Roman and always makes sure he is close to him and if he’s not he gets up and goes near him.”
About two weeks ago, Roman’s ear started looking a little puffy and infected, so his mom took him to the vet and discovered he has a hematoma on his ear. They scheduled a surgery to take care of it, but unfortunately, while he waited for the surgery, his ear kept getting worse and poor Roman got more and more uncomfortable.
At first, Spanky didn’t notice anything was different, but as Roman’s ear got worse, everyone noticed that Spanky was much more gentle and concerned about his best friend.
“We had to take him back to the vet to confirm he could wait five more days for surgery and I brought Spanky along for the ride, but due to COVID we couldn’t go inside with Roman and for 20 minutes Spanky sat in the car crying/whining/barking until Roman got back,” Rogers said.

There’s no real way that words can explain that. It’s beautiful, loving and caring and just goes to show how the loving bond works in practice.
Fabulous creatures!
What a beautiful gesture. It would be nice if humans looked out for one another the way that Spanky took care of Roman.

Oh Susan, you said it! In spadefuls! We have here a special relationship between Pedi, our smallest dog, and Brandy, our largest dog. They often sleep on the same dog bed snuggled up together.

It is very special, Sue, but not unusual. Dogs in many, many ways show us humans how to care unconditionally. Perfect!

Dogs can teach us so much. That was such a sweet thing to see especially this week. I’m worn completely out and this was so uplifting. Thank you.

Thank you, Marlene. Remember to always take a rest whenever you feel like it. I don’t want to hear, because this is a sort-of public place, why you are worn out but please take good care of yourself.
