We think the subject of love is an easy one to get right. How hard could it be? In today’s world where do we find the best examples of unconditional love? I suggest that our pets are the best answer to that question. 
We are a dog family so I will use Jax as my example. Jax helped us during a time of recent challenge. Even when we were not the best examples to each other, we could always find Jax who could give a hug, a kiss, or just comfort without questions or judgment.
If you don’t trust Jax, I suggest you give Jesus a shot with this subject. He tells us that out of all the things we are called to do, we must first love the Lord and secondly and EQUALLY as important is to love your neighbor as yourself.
Go out and hug a dog! Or just follow Jesus!
