We share a common theme with dogs us humans, we are born into families and have a natural instinct to nurture and care for each other.There are leaders in our families whether it be a male or female,one or both is the hunter and gatherer,the protector and the helper.Dogs are wired with these natural instincts and so they are natural companions.Am I saying all dogs could be companions? maybe if they have strong loving masters who treat them with love and respect,for this is the code of the dog world.
We have discovered that dogs were domesticated in Belgium over 33,000 years ago long before any other animal.They are loyal,and accepting.They don't see race or difference,they don't set out to hurt someones feelings or make fun of their shortcomings.
A child at school with anxiety is a target to be bullied,as in my child's case. The bully can sense the child's fears and make the situation worse. A dog can also sense fears and if trained in that particular area can help ease the situation by a nudge or affection. I have seen a young teenager with hair pulling tendencies helped by a therapy dog,each time she reached up to pull the dog would jump up and nudge her to pet him.Eventually she was able to grow her hair back.
Dogs can also teach the bullies to respect others by just showing compassion, I wish to bring this into our schools ,to show that in the dog world there is no wish to harm or to pick on;but to love and nurture.
I also wish to bring to light children who are exposed to goodness and love are then in return shown goodness and love. I wish for children to have therapy dogs they can bring to school to help fight their anxieties and overcome their fears
.Do you remember your first day of school? remember how nervous you may have felt? making new friends? or meeting new teachers and classmates? for children with anxiety disorders this is their world everyday. Think about how you feel when you see a new puppy how it brings everyone together in conversation as well as smiles on each face. This is the gift I wish to bring each day to schools around the globe.
