God made humans…and then to compensate to the disaster he had created, he made animals!

“Man is rated the highest animal, at least among all animals who returned the questionnaire.”
- Robert Brault.

We often hear people saying that Human beings are the most beautiful creation of God…I don’t think so! I think the most beautiful creation of God is animals…or dogs to be specific…and for me to be much more specific…Simba!

Some may claim, some may not, but the fact always remains that we humans are filled with so much of evil, that we have the strength to destroy this whole world with it. Probably we are still saved because our evils are neutralized by the innocence and the unconditional love of our dogs.

I remember many such incidences when I have been depressed with some career decisions or personal decisions going wrong. I normally express that from my behavior, facial expressions and words. I would sit alone and keep thinking what went wrong and how could it be rectified. And suddenly, from nowhere, I feel something soft and fluffy near my ear…and when I turn, I see the most beautiful face right next to me, as if giving me a solution to all my problems, as if smiling and as if touching and saying “Don’t worry, everything will be alright.” And if that still doesn’t somehow make me feel better, then Simba joins me in my mood by just cuddling up next to me and dropping his face on my lap! That does it…it makes all my worries vanish!

It is often said that you should never disturb a person when he or she is angry…else you may end up being the victim of that anger…but with Simba, things are a bit different. He will try to make you feel better in every possible way and he will continuously try to change your mood by doing something funny, or if that’s not enough he will get the stress ball to me (maybe as if he is trying to say that “here, this should help”).

If you still sulk, he might eventually give up knowing that nothing’s going to work. He probably thinks “I would rather shut up and sit in a corner and wait for things to be better”. Needless to mention, that he will constantly check your mood by popping his head up, a couple of times.

Not just depressing moments, even if you are tired and stressed by working all day, Simba is a best stress reliever. He would pump his energy into you. As soon as I open the door to get into my home, I am greeted by the over enthusiastic Simba. He would behave as if he is seeing me after ages. It is actually a funny fact about Simba that even if we leave him alone for 10-15 minutes, he will greet us with the same enthusiasm. Makes me wonder where he gets all the energy from. Sometimes I am just worried that his tail would fall off, with him wagging it so vigorously. No matter how tired I am, Simba always manages to refresh me.

I thank God for creating animals, especially dogs, who are a boon to mankind. They are probably the cure for all the sorrows that humans have. They are the best gifts that god would have given mankind. It is more than a coincidence that GOD when spelled in reverse is DOG…and truly they are a form of God…Love you Simba!
