Our dogs are more than just companions—they are profound teachers, offering us gifts of patience, trust, unconditional love, and so much more. In this video, we explore the invaluable life lessons our dogs bring into our lives, often in ways we only recognize after challenges or time has passed.
Join me in a guided visualization to receive a special message from your dog—past or present—and discover how you can embrace and share these lessons in your daily life. Let’s reflect, connect, and pay these gifts forward. 💛
