Love has been a theme celebrated by humanity throughout the centuries. In fact, I believe that love is the driving force of the life of human beings and of all creation. Writers and poets, in fact, write about love with verses that pierce the soul and move the heart.
But today, I am not going to comment on the human being, the one that is established between human beings and animals. This love is not always expressed in the way we understand it, but yes, there is a connection and a teaching from them to us of unconditional love.
Since the earliest times of human existence, they have maintained a close relationship with animals. This bond began when our ancestors domesticated the first animals, such as dogs, to help them in hunting and protection. Over time, that relationship evolved into something much deeper: a mutual affection that develops over generations.
The dog is probably the best-known example of an animal that has formed an emotional connection with humans. From the moment wolves began to live with humans and dogs began to develop a relationship of respect and love towards their owners, towards anyone who caresses them, they have been man's best companions.
In fact, scientists have finally accepted that they are sentient animals, animals that love in such a way that if their owner dies, they are capable of lying down in their grave and letting themselves die. This not only gave them mutual benefits in terms of hunting and protection, but also fostered deep loyalty and affection.
But the love of animals towards humans is not limited to dogs. Many other species also show affection and gratitude towards people, and studies suggest that this relationship is not just a matter of instinct or a mere need for survival, but a genuine form of emotional attachment.
The Science of Animal Love: How Animals Show Their Affection
Recent studies on animal behavior have provided a better understanding of how animals experience love and attachment towards humans. In the case of dogs, neuroscience studies have revealed that, just like humans, they can experience emotions related to trust, affection and attachment. A study conducted by researchers at Azabu University in Japan found that dogs release oxytocin when interacting with their owners, similar to what happens to mothers when caring for their children. This phenomenon strengthens the emotional bond between dog and human, and is the basis of what is known as “unconditional love” in animals.
As I said before, dogs (the ones I am writing about) are sentient beings, they have fears and joys, they are able to forget themselves and offer their lives for those they love.
Take a look at this;
Humans have seven main chakras and dogs do too… what are chakras? .
In a few words, we could define chakras as energy points that are responsible for the balance of our body and mind, creating a connection between our parts: psychological, organic, spiritual and emotional.
Well, dogs have them just like humans, but while humans are blocked by anger, darkness, envy and thousands of other things, dogs do not suffer from it, so their connection between mind and body, emotional and loving, is not clouded by anything, so, even if you hit them, they continue to love, even if you do not give them food or do not approach them to pet them, they will come with that lick on your face, with that lying down at your side to protect you, with the movement of the tail showing that they are happy and without resentment.
They are able to sense if you are sick, if you are going to have an operation, or if sadness fills you, they come closer and with their own chakras they try and manage to balance yours. They are great bearers of joy and happiness.
For me, they are those beings who never leave, never stop loving, never feel the departure from your side.
They are actually gifts that the Heavens themselves granted to us humans.
I love you Thunder. Today he left us
And Thunder (our dog) came to us, like a piece of sky in the Dawn.. white and pure as dawn, adorned with spots of Stars.. that like a Light in embers the night wanted to light. He arrived one afternoon of any day, in the arms of my son who gave us that fidelity that good dogs give.. that great lesson of love.
Why was it TRUENO;
That river of joy and innocence…
that takes you to the sea of that feeling…
that life is full of greatness…
when you feel and see that love is like that…
It was… that forest where all the flowers grow,
that sea pregnant with love
that mountain that always defended…
all those who lived next to it…
it was the joy of a bark…
the feeling of the kiss of love…
the pure and innocent gratitude…
of the one who always loves…
And he went to the Heaven of the dogs…
and he left like a warrior without complaining…
he fell asleep between the waves of pure love…
he closed his eyes and went to rest.
And he left us pregnant with sadness…
and orphaned of that immense love…
that only those innocents give…
who know how to love and love eternally.
And in the hearts of those who love him…
that knowledge will always remain…
that the Universe brought to our lives…
the example of courage and love.
Today Thunder, beloved, be good and mischievous…
cute little dog where there may be…
today you left and left your mark…
of eternal knowledge of love.
With all love and gratitude to you, with honor for having been in our lives.
Love forever TRUENO our Dog, our lesson of unconditional love.
