I met Dina in may 2011. I was young, and she was just one month old – full of energy, curiosity, and that wild love only a puppy can bring. Fourteen years have passed since then. She’s still here. Still looking at me with the same eyes – only wiser now, and with more white around her nose and paws. But that light, that same light, it never faded.
We’ve been through everything together: travels, heartbreaks, loneliness, joy, spiritual journeys, and silent prayers. She witnessed every one of my falls and every slow, humble rise. Always beside me. Always patient.
I never had to explain anything to her. She just knew. That’s the thing about real love – it understands before words ever arrive.
Sometimes I wonder if she chose me instead of the other way around. Out of all the paths I’ve taken, she has been the most beautiful and the most constant. Her loyalty isn’t loud; it’s quiet, present, and holy.
She taught me to sit in silence. To be brave when I wanted to run. To keep walking even when it hurts. To rest without guilt. To love without needing to be loved back in the same way.
And even now, as her steps get slower, her presence is louder than ever. I see God in her patience. I see grace in her eyes. I see a miracle in every single day I still have her.
So yes, I believe that everything I know about love, I really did learn from my dog.
In fact, I had recently posted something on my facebook profile about a miracle happened. Also there are colages and a video.
