One day a dog who was happy cause he'd been given a big meaty bone by the butcher, was crossing a bridge on his way home.
As the dog walked up the bridge he looked down and saw another dog who also had a big meaty bone looking straight back at him. The dog immediately thought how good it would be to have 2 bones to take back home.
So he snarled at the dog below and growled and then barked at him. With that the bone fell out of his mouth and splashed into the water below. The silly dog had not realised he was looking at him own reflection in the lake of water beneath the bridge.
Moral = ?

Dog on the reverse side is so powerful.Duty conscious obliged genarally gentlly managing the duty as a guardian of the manager.Never forget the manager even when the manager forget it.
Showing loyalty .respect and service and dedicate any thing and everything.It is its charactor to bark on the image or thing appears before it. Never mind even if it loss something precious for it
E ver so many good qualities can be attributed to this domestic animal An important story is that God has given the ownership deed of earth to dog;which was handed over to the cat for safe custody;which was entrusted to rat.Rat naturally damaged the document and scratched into pieces.So the cat could not return the document to the dog .This lead to their in born enimity between rat,cat and Dog.

Dogs don't actually behave in this way. Human thoughts were projected onto a dog. It's just a story about not being greedy.

Be satisfied with what you have, don't hanker after what you can't have, as you may end up losing it, hence what happened to the dog, he lost his bone!! simple really ain't it!!??

A bone in your mouth beats two in the bush.

Modern life is shallow - we all strive to keep up with our neighbours, never pausing to appreciate what we have, and never once anticipating that our neighbours are striving to keep up with US. 'Greed is good' is our mantra du jour, and the narcissicism of individuation is dividing us as people.

Attempting to maul your own reflection makes you hungry.

To grasp for the shadow is to lose what is real.

Be happy with what you got or it will have all been for naught.
