Life – Super Dog In The Water (Animal Day)

Posted by kairospix (Singapore, Singapore) on 6 October 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Since I’m on a special day streak I thought I might as well do it for the whole week!

So here’s a shot of a super dog in the water to celebrate Animal Day!

Why super dog? I was just amazed at the speed at which this dog ran to get the tennis ball every time his owner threw the ball into the sea. And whenever the ball was way out in deeper waters he will swim towards it to get the ball.

It was a delight to watch his energy and enthusiasm!

I guess animals can teach us humans a lesson or two on courage and passion. If this dog lacked courage to swim out to deeper waters it can never get the ball. And if it lacked a strong desire, it probably would have backed out from venturing further when the going became more challenging.

Animals, they can be such delightful teachers of life.

To all pet and animal owners and lovers – Happy Animal Day!!!
