Dogs live in the present moment. They forgive quickly. They rest without guilt, play without keeping score, and greet the people they love as though every reunion is the greatest moment imaginable.
What might they know that we've forgotten?
Licensed practitioner Cheryl Cattell continues GOCSL's Playful Spirituality series with a joyful exploration of the idea that “Dog is God spelled backwards.”
Beneath the playful phrase is a deeper spiritual invitation. Through humor, stories, and the moving true story of Fido—a dog whose extraordinary faithfulness became known throughout Italy—Cheryl explores how dogs embody presence, trust, forgiveness, connection, and unconditional love.
They remind us to give our attention freely, delight in what's here now, keep showing up for love, and receive affection without believing we first have to earn it.
Perhaps Spirit doesn't always teach through solemn moments.
Sometimes truth arrives with bright eyes, a wagging tail, and an invitation to play.
