Dogs and sheep 2

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.
