Dogs Do What Comes Natural

Tweet

When I was gowning up we lived in the country. As anyone knows who has lived in the country, people drop unwanted animals off on the side of the road. I was the type of child that would cry and beg my father to stop and save that poor little animal sitting there confused and alone. Most of the time my father would give in and stop. As you can imagine, we ended up with innumerable cats and dogs living with us. One day on our way coming back from the grocery store there was a beautiful silvery grey puppy sitting right at the edge of the road looking around. I went into my crying act and sure enough my father stopped so we could pick up the puppy. She turned out to be the sweetest, softest, lovingest animal. She also turned out to be a Weimaraner , a hunting dog. One day she was hanging out in the yard when my little white rabbit escaped it’s cage. A chase ensured and she did was hunting dogs do when they come across prey. She ended up breaking the little rabbits back and my rabbit had to be put down. I still loved Princess but I learned a lesson that day. Dogs do what comes natural to them. As a hunting dog she did what came natural and I learned I could not fault her for that. Not an easy lesson for a child to learn.
