We love our dogs and if we look closely, sometimes we can be the ones that learn a lesson from our furry friends. Yes, these are things your mother probably told you, but it means so much more coming from a dog:

1. Put others before yourself

2. Exercise is important

3. Families stick together

4. Be happy through it all

5. Friendship matters

6. Practice makes perfect

7. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree

8. Your vibe attracts your tribe

9. Always work as a team

10. Make love a priority

11. Speak up if something bothers you

12. Embrace the adventure

13. Doing service is good

14. Always have fun

15. The ocean is amazing

16. Prayer is important

17. Patience is a virtue

18. Don't let others talk bad about you

19. Food is the answer

20. Water is important

21. Sleep is equally important

22. Be genuinely happy for others

23. Relax and be happy

Dogs know how to make their way into our lives and our hearts. Between cuddling and walks in the park, keep an eye out for what your dog is teaching you.
