Hello Everyone


I met a very interesting lady at one of our courses at Rahamim. We were talking about animals and she said that when her dog died she received more than 100 condolence cards.


I must admit that I found it incredible that someone should get 100 card over the death of a dog!


How could a dog’s life create so much I asked? She went on to share some of her stories. The lady was an epileptic and the dog would warn her a minute or two before she was to have a seizure. If she was out and about when the seizure occurred the dog would stand guard over her and not allow anyone near her unless they could assist. No matter where she was she was always safe and her handbag or whatever was not at risk.


The dog also had an uncanny knack of creating peace between other dogs. A an alpha dog , he would often step in the middle of fighting dogs to separate them and send them off to mind their own business. Even as an old dog he continued to do this until he a week or so until he died.


Yes, I think if I had known that dog I would want to have sent a condolence card to his poor owner too.


And recently many Japanese rescuers and the public were brought to tears when a dog had survived three weeks in the water after the tsunami. His rescue brightened everyone and brought emotions of hope and gratitude to so many.

Why am I sharing these stories with you? Because we are increasingly aware that we have a strong connection with all beings on the planet. We also believe that we need to bring forth a human presence that respects all life forms. We celebrate life in all its rich variety.
