Spirit Animal - Dog

“Sage” a guardian dog – picture by S. Roger Joyeux

History tells us that all civilizations seemed to have some sort of domesticated dog.  In early times, our Ancestors used dogs as work animals for pulling small carts and wagons.  And, of course, dogs were used to herd and hunt.  Their keen sense of hearing and very good sight were the extended version of the Master’s sight and hearing. 

Dogs have a message about service, one that they show us everyday.  First, they love unconditionally, even when they are treated cruelly. Second, they will try with all their heart, to complete whatever task we give them, even if they don’t understand it and it taxes their physical capabilities.  Third, dogs do not judge or gossip.  They simply try the best they can.  Fourth, they do all this without thanks or praise.  The message to anyone on a spiritual path, then, is to be in service and to be there without thinking of gain, to do one’s best, and to do the service joyfully with unconditional love. 

“Magic” – the dog that greets and makes you feel welcome.

Dogs are also about safety, and humans may learn from them because they can sense earthquakes even two days prior to the quake actually happening.  As well as sniffing out drugs, guns and explosives, dogs can sniff when a person is going to have an epileptic seizure, and when cancer cells become active.  These abilities may be associated with psychic abilities.  The message to you then becomes, are you using your clairvoyant abilities and clairaudient abilities to keep you and friends and family safe?  Are you a gifted healer who has been ignoring your healing gifts.  Can you “see” dis-ease in someone before the disease hits? 

Remember that we choose pets – dogs – as we choose our family and our mates.  We choose them because they are like us and the dog can mirror the issues that we need to solve and to learn from.
