Reincarnation is when an individual dies and there soul comes back as flesh as another being on Earth. Reincarnation as always been referred to as people to people and not as people to animal. But is it possible for a human soul to reincarnate as a dog, his/her favorite animal which is loved more than anything else? Well, read this story carefully and leave your thoughts in the comments area. This story is about a woman name Mary, a senior citizen who lived with her nephew Jonah and her Labrador named Sue.

Sue was a playful and loving dog. She was extremely loved by Mary and Jonah. She would assist Mary in so many ways and Mary appreciated it. Sue would fetch her bed slippers, newspaper and just show her love comfort and joy. Sue was quite an entertainer too as she would create various antics which created laughter among the family.  But in the midst of Joy, there would be sadness as Sue developed a brain illness and just had to be put down. Mary thought long and hard before she gave the go ahead. She spent countless nights crying and went arm and leg into trying to find alternate solutions to allow sue to heal.  But soon Sue began to suffer even more and Mary knew that it would not be love to make a next loved one suffer, so it was done.

About a month after Sue had passed, Mary began to get sick and soon bed ridden. No one knew exactly what was happening to Mary as Doctors were unable to diagnose why Mary was deteriorating away as they found nothing wrong with her. But her nephew knew exactly what had happened, Mary was suffering from a broken heart and spirit because of the passing of Sue. No doctor could heal this, it was beyond their understanding. Only Mary could heal herself, but as time took toll, she never did. Mary passed on two month after her dog.  It was a very sad time for Jonah as he was now all alone and had lost two loved one in the space of a couple months. It was hard when he lost Sue, but it was even more devastating to him when he lost his Aunt.

Two years have passed since Jonah has been alone. Even though he continues to visit his aunt and their dog's resting place occasionally. One Thursday evening when Jonah went to visit his aunt's graveside he saw a Dog laying on top of the grave.  He thought it was a stray dog that was about to dig up his Aunt's grave. He began to clap his hands hoping to scare off the animal. The dog looked up at Jonah and simply barked, wagged its tail and rolled over. Jonah chuckled and began to pet the animal. It had no tag and looked almost like Sue. The dog was all over Jonah, it was as though he was sitting there waiting on a long lost owner to return.  As Jonah left the graveside and headed to his truck, he saw the dog dashed passed him and ran straight towards his truck, stopped and began barking. Jonah was surprised because he was curious to know how the dog knew that he drove that truck because several other vehicles were also parked at the cemetery. Jonah stood there and looked at the dog for a minute, opened the truck door and the dog simply jumped in.

Jonah decided to keep the dog and named him Mark. A pretty unusual name for a dog, but the name simply popped out at him. Near reaching home, the dog began to bark continuously as though he knew the house. As Jonah pulled up into the drive way, the dog flew out the truck window and ran straight to the swing in the yard. It was one of Mary's favorite little spot where she would just come and sit and gently swing, pondering the youth days of her life. Jonah stood there shocked, thoughts began to ran through his head that his Aunt Mary and had come back, she had reincarnated as a dog.

He opened the front door and the dog was just happy to get in. To Jonah's surprise, the dog headed straight to his Aunt's rocking chair, jumped on it and simply curled up.  Jonah had no doubt that his aunt had found a way to come back to him. She reincarnated as a Dog.

Dog, Cat, Lion, Human, what's the difference when someone straps a leash around your neck? For one, I would definitely be pulling on that leash signaling where I want to go.  So why not just conform? Why do dogs keeps pulling on the leash anyway? Check out the points below.

Dog not interested in that Direction

• It is actually a no brainier, if the dog owner is going forward and the dog is interested to go left because of hormonal issues, he/she will pull in that direction.
  

Owner/Walker Not Moving fast enough

• You may not be the Usain Bolt of dog walking, but your dog may not be as slow as you are and would rather you pick up the pace so he begins to pull forward.

Checking out his/her Environment

• Dogs are rather "nosy" creatures and they will sniff just about anything.  If they see a bush that looks a bit curious, they just may pull to go check out the bush to what's going on.

They Want To Relieve Themselves

• Some dogs will want to pee or poop but because of training will not just stop and pee or poop in the middle of walking. If they see somewhere which looks like a good spot to pee or poop they may try to pull you to that area.

Health Risk When Dog Pulls too Hard
The dog may pull so hard that it starts choking or coughing, this is a sign of oxygen being reduced. This is a very bad thing to allow your dog to do while simply ignoring the risk. There is also a health risk where the animal is excessively strong and not handled by an individual with some sort of proportional strength.  The dog can easily cause shoulder damage or even pull you to the floor.  This can be alleviated by using a Prong collar though.

What To Do To Prevent Dog Pulling When Walking
First thing I actually did when my dog started pulling was to see what his big deal was when pulling, that is how I came up with the bullet points above as to why the dog pulls on the leash. So now I know there are some things which came into effect to prevent this action.

1. Random Turn
If my dogs pulled ahead, I turned and walked away giving them a slight tug on the leash. When they followed I had a treat in my hand and placed it just above my knee and when they went for it I gave the command “heel” and gave them the treat.
When they were heeled, I would randomly turn directions and taught them to pay attention to my knee relative to their head. I turned in, I turned out. My leg would bump into them if I turned towards them. They would follow and get a treat.
In about two to three days of this random turning my dogs eventually got the hint to walk beside me, but not ahead of me, and absolutely no pulling.

2. Stop
Another method is stopping as the dog is about to pull. Just stop and then walk away. Repeat the process with praise and treats. Making them sit when you stop helps assert your position with your dog. Every time you stop, have your dog sit. Eventually they end up doing it automatically.

3. Verbal Commands
If you can train your dog to acknowledge a verbal command which triggers him to calm down and refocus, then you can also use this to stop the pulling on leash.

So now that you know why the dog pulls and what to do, go ahead. Take back control of walking your dog and do not let your dog walk you.

Dogs have joints and cartilages just like any other animals and us humans. Sometimes these joints may end up becoming painful for the animal because of many reasons. Your dog may just end up getting old and develop joint movement issues or may be suffering from an health issue. This is where Glucoasomine for dogs will come as a benefit for the animal.

What Is Glucosamine?
Glucosamine is a mineral which occurs naturally in the fluid around the joints in animal bones, bone marrow, shellfish, and fungi. It plays a vital role in building cartilage, and many people take it as a supplement to treat arthritis and osteoarthritis. One could say it is that lubricating fluid which keeps the joints movement smooth and painless.

How Safe Is Glucosamine For Dogs?
Glucosamine is quite safe for your dog once it is administered in the correct dosage recommended by a licensed veterinarian.

Chondroitin is natural substance found in your dog's cartilage and, when paired with glucosamine, has an even more beneficial effect on your dog's joints. MSM (methylsulphynolmethane) is a natural sulphur compound also thought to help improve joint flexibility and reduce pain and inflammation. Glycosaminoglycans help relieve symptoms of arthritis in a high percentage of patients. Hopefully, with the use of the GAGs, pain medications can be minimized. Dogs and Cats: Typical doses start at approximately 500 mg glucosamine and 400 mg chondroitin per 25 pounds divided every 12 hours.

Is It Safe To Give Dogs Glucosamine for Humans?
I would not recommended it, Glucosamine is an amino sugar and should be the same regardless if it's in a human or dog supplement. However, human supplements can contain ingredients that may be unsafe for your dog. Some ingredients that humans use daily can be fatal to dogs. It is simple, if you plan to give your dog this mineral, seek assistance for your vet. Always play it safe when introducing anything new in your dog's system.
