What we forget about sheep and what small dogs teach us in their place:
How easily they hurt themselves
and how cute they are.
How valuable they are.
How precious to us, not just for what they give us,
but for who and what they are;
precious,
and valued,
and just as adorable.

Small dogs may be smarter
and do not need to be rescued,
as often
but just like sheep
the little ones wouldn’t
really survive and
thrive
on their own without us.
