以前我在打工的时候，一口气要遛五六倏狗。那些狗狗都超活波超好动的。所以我在想，万一哪天它们疯过头，冲到马路上被车撞死了怎么办？所以我就去狗店老板说，有没有什么几招可以教我。让我对付这些小狗。

因为我也希望哪些狗都听我话。我希望它们成一个口令一个动作的乖狗狗。后来原本几只喜欢我的狗，变得不太理我。甚至有些狗，我在逼它们做一些事情的时候，想要咬我一口呢！然后我就赶快跑回去，问那个狗店的老板说，＂为什么它们不理我。为什么它们会很想要咬我？＂

结果狗店老板就跟我说，其实狗跟人一样的。你呢对它们付出的爱跟关怀，都是要以尊重为前提。它们才会有可能会听你的话啊。后来我就按照他说的话，有几只狗是真的听话了。可是有几只狗，还是非常非常的调皮。可是那些狗呢，就是天生非常调皮的黄金猎犬，要不然就是大麦町那一种。

然后就为了这一件事情，我想通了一个道理。我在想，为什么我要用那种让它们觉得非常不舒服的方式爱它们呢？这样子的爱，它们痛苦我也觉得很累，何必呢？因为我再这么努力，也不可能把黄金猎犬变成，一个口令一个动作的大狼犬啊！

Last time I had to take care of lots of dogs. They are active and playful. I was thinking, what if one day the dogs were too playful and got hit on the streets. So I asked the dog specialist, if there are anyways that I can handle the dogs. I wish the dogs will be obedient. I wish they will follow my orders.

Soon some of the dogs that used to like me, became ignorant to me. Some even tried to bite me. So I asked the specialist again, "Why are they biting me?" He replied, actually dogs and humans are the same. The love and care that you have given to them, you have to place respect as the first priority. So that they will listen to you.

In the end I listened to advice, but there were others that kept being very very naughty. But those were the dogs that were naughty by nature like the Golden Retrievers and the Dalmatians.

And this made me realise something. Why use a method that makes someone feel uncomfortable to love them? When the only thing this kind of love will do is hurt them and make myself tired. So why do it? It doesn't matter how hard I try. I can't turn a Golden Retriever into a very obedient German Shepherd.
