In our journey through life, it’s easy to lose sight of the treasures we already possess while fixating on the desire for more. Such a mindset can be detrimental.
Gratitude is a virtue we should cultivate, appreciating the blessings we have without harboring jealousy towards others. Comparing ourselves to others, although common, can lead to dissatisfaction.
Interestingly, a similar principle holds true for children. In many instances, children with fewer material possessions find greater happiness compared to those with abundance.
A parallel can be drawn with our canine companions. While some dogs enjoy the comfort of homes and families, there are instances where stray dogs, despite their hardships, exhibit a different kind of happiness, perhaps because they have the freedom to roam.
Now, let’s focus on a particular group of dogs with disabilities. These remarkable animals derive immense joy from simple pleasures, like the opportunity to frolic on the beach.
Salima Kadaoui orchestrated a one-day social gathering, bringing together 18 dogs from SFT Animal Sanctuary. For these dogs, experiencing such a day of unfettered joy was a first, and their exuberance was beyond words.
Wheelchairs and physical limitations didn’t deter these dogs. They wholeheartedly embraced the chance to run along the beach, reveling in the sheer delight of the moment.
The video below offers a poignant glimpse into their happiness, serving as a reminder that life’s true riches often lie in the simplest of pleasures. It’s a lesson we can all learn from and cherish.
