- If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
- Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
- No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout -- run right back and make friends.
- Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
- When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle him or her gently.

Funny as this is, it's so true.
My last dog's name was Butch. We named him after the boxer in "Pulp Fiction." He was a Timber Wolf, Siberian Husky, Malamute mix. He was mostly wolf. He did everything on this list. Reading this
reminded me of all the cute antics he had.
Butch always dug in the backyard. He'd always bury his bones in the yard. When he was inside, he'd use his nose and pretend to dig in the carpet and then he was convinced his bone was hidden.
When eating, he'd always growl when you came by his dog dish. "MY FOOD, HANDS OFF!!"
When Butch was being potty trained, he'd feel guilty for a little bit, but then he'd be your best friend and my parents could never stay mad at him very long.
He'd always have his head out the window, till he got big enough to try and jump out. Funny dog.
Best of all, he had this keen sixth sense to when someone in the family was having a bad day. He was very loyal and comforting like that.
He was put to sleep two years ago November because he'd broken both hips chasing birds. We didn't want him to suffer. His surgery had no guarantee and his quality of life wouldn't have been that great. He lived a full life of ten years, which is 70 in dog years.
I never really got a chance to say good bye the day he went down and he is still sorely missed.
Thank you for allowing me to reminisce.
In addition to all that, all of these traits are perfectly fitting for the business world.
