It’s always awkward when you meet someone from a different country.You never know whether to shake hands, bow or even whether to kiss on the cheek.But what if you were a dog?
If you are a dog owner, you must be familiar with how your dog says hello to you.Seconds after you arrive home, your dog jumps up on you.You come face to face with a tail-wagging, wildly excited ball of fur that can’t get enough of you.If you’re not happy with that, it will shower you with wet “kisses” perhaps ruining your best shirt.
Like humans, dogs have five senses: smell, touch, sight, hearing and taste.
Unlike humans, dogs use smell rather than sight to identify others around them.A dog’s sense of smell is thousands of times better than that of humans.Your dog can’t just tell what a human being smells like, but it can also tell the difference between different members of its human family by their smell.
They also greet each other this way, not eye to eye, but nose to nose.
To be precise, when they first meet each other, they start with a quick sniff of each other’s noses.Then they will go side to side, working their way towards the back end.
Dogs smell everything they can during a walk.They sniff grass, bushes, trees and signposts.By doing this, dogs know not only what they are looking at, but which other neighborhood dogs have been around lately.
So next time you see your dog sniffing the wrong end of another dog, don’t regard it as a bad habit.They are greeting each other.

It amazed me that even in his situation of being homeless he was so positive,and his answer would remind me of how blessed I was.A single mother of four amazing kids,with a place to call home and with a job to provide for my kids.Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off due to the economy.Needless to say that on my was home that day I was very sad and upset.I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did.I wasn’t feeling the joy as I got off the ramp where the homeless man would be.Yet there he was as alway,as l turned the ramp.He set his eyes on me,while still smiling and waving at others.

While I was waiting for the red light to turn,he strolled over to my car.He had a big smile he looked me straight in the eyes and said “today I will give you a dollar”.He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill.I was blown away.I burst into tears.I wanted to jump out of my car and hug him!
