Dog lovers know that dogs are the best example of unconditional love. They show it in many ways. But Bella surprised me this week. She showed it to me not in acts, but in her face's expression.
She was driving with me in the car. I don't recall if I was running an errand or was dropping one of the children off early at school. When she rides in the car, she likes to ride shotgun. So there she sat in her usual position in the passenger seat. I looked down, and she had her head on the arm rest. She was looking directly at me with the most sincere look of love and adoration I've ever seen on a dog and nearly on any creature. It was only rivaled by that beautiful look a baby gives you when it recognizes you and shows all of its love in those amazing, innocent baby eyes. No wonder we love our dogs. How could you not when they show us true unconditional love like that.
