First Love of Radha Kishan : Dog Love
Like human beings, dogs, too, belong to different social classes.There are rich dogs, and
there are poor dogs. There are pet dogs,as well as street dogs. There are dogs who are no less
snobbish than their masters, and there are dogs who are proud of their bad manners. There are
dogs who move in the best society by the virtue of their high pedigrees. There are dogs who
live in dirty streets because their parents lived in streets. The street dogs are the vagabonds
who have no home to live in and no club to go to. They belong to the inferior race. They are
loafers. They are wanted by no one. No one loves them. No one kisses them and no one feeds
them. They have to find their food themselves. They crowd infront of the butcher's and baker's
shops. They pounce upon the bone, bark and fight and tear each other's ears and tails until
one of them carries away the bone.
But there is another category of dogs which is considered as a symbol of love, loyalty
and truthfullness. These are the "Pet Dogs". They are loved and appreciated all over the world.
They provide their master and his whole family security in their houses. People praise these
dogs, children kiss them and they donot have to fight to get food. They are given their food
by their master with proper time table.
Dog is considered as the most faithful animal. Dog can be a good teacher of a person
who is in search of God's Love. Because it shows you the right path. Any one who wants to
understand the true feeling of spiritual love, he should follow dog.
Pious people often give their students the example of the loyalty and love of dog
with its master to understand the true philosphy of "Love and Loyalty". Because God's
love is not easy to achieve. For this you have to be completely devoted and committed
to your mission. You have to be ever thankful and greatful to your God. You have to face
difficulties with smile on your face. You have to welcome all the hardships of life . You have
to be a nature of sacrifice in your heart. This is the way to God's Love.
And if you observe a dog who is faithful to his master. You can find most of these
virtues in the dog itself. He loves his master and asks nothing in return. He gives him
safety and protection of life and wealth. If you give him his food, he is happy. But if
you donot take care of him, he is still happy and will remain loyal to you. And will
remain at the door of your house quietly.
Today love for dog is found in almost majority of the people. You can observe
lots of people in the parks who come out for a walk along with their beloved pet dogs.
Especially love for dog in women has been increasing day by day. I think the reaon
for that is the sense of security. Since it is a faithful animal. It also provides
you safety and protection of wealth as well as life of the master and his family.
Your pet dog does not require any kind of reward from you. In today's selfish world
where mostly the relations are based on selfishness, and you cannot find the virtue
of honesty and loyalty even among your nearest relatives. But we have the example
of this animal which has got all these virtues.
It is seen in most families where dogs have a great love and attachement
with the children of the family. They play with the kids and entertain the
children with different kinds of games. Especially Handball and football are
their favourite games.This habit of dogs has many benefits in itself for the
kids. The basic benefit is that children donot have to go out in the streets
to play with their friends and other children. Mostly it is seen that when
children get out of their houses for playing games and for any other activity.
Mostly they get caught in bad company and we all know " Man is known by the
company he keeps". There are many more benefits like sudden accidents can happen
or there may be any case of kidnapping.
Today love for dog has become a fashion. People feel proud to have the
costly and healthy dog. Rich people spend much money to fulfill the feeding
requirements of dog. They provide them good food at proper time, take great
care of them. There are some rich people who have made small dog zoo in their
houses where different dogs are present. So if there are more dogs
in a house, obviously it requires good amount of money. So many people think
that this all is only waste of money and time.
They feel it is much better to spend
all this money on poors and needy people. There are people in our society
who donot have proper food to eat and place to live and most of them just
die of hunger. There are families who have their young daughters but they
donot have much money to make arrangements of their marriage. Nobody feels
their pain. There is no one to help them out and give them support. I donot say
that stop loving dog and spending on it. But there should be some limit and
we must understand that human being is more deserving for our love rather than dogs.
Other then true love story I have also experienced the love for dog in my life also. I used to owe a dog sometimes ago. I didnt love love him much but i had some feelings for him that he should be trated like human being. So I used to give me food and water daily on time. AS a result the dog was in great love with me and he saved me many times from danger in my life. He showed me signs that I would be in trouble whenever I was moving in wrong direction. I will tell my love story with dog sometimes later.
