Why the Dog don't prefer to be called as a Dog?

There is a saying- Call a spade a spade! But when it comes to dogs and donkeys we should think twice before calling them so. Infact, they won't prefer to be called as Dogs and Donkeys respectively if they get big brains enough to think like human. We have made these words deregatory, ugly, tainted. See, there is no animal other than the dog exist on the entire planet that recieves abundance of love from the mankind. Them dogs live among us, sleep beside us and In some extreme cases they even eat with us! Yet, the irony is that we use the word 'Dog' to downgrade someone whom we don't like! Donkey and monkey are no different

We use the word Donkey whenever we have to call someone a fool. The trait laziness is also associated with this animal. Do have a closer look at them. Are donkeys really lazy? Are they the most foolish beings? Hell..no! If you go visit some of the remotest places in the world you will still find these donkeys working very hard! They carry lots of burdens in their back and move without any grudge! Maybe it is the lack of responsiveness that made them fools.

Not so long ago, when I visited the house of my friend, I saw a pet dog living among them. Amidst the talk I asked them about this Dog. Me referring their dog as a 'Dog' seemed inappropriate for them. I could see the face of the lady in that house turning reddish for a moment. I noticed none of their family members used the word 'Dog' even to refer the actual dog. They used 'Jimmy' instead!

In Bible it has been written that the Jesus Christ had rode on a donkey in a procession on a particular festive day. A lot of stories are there that showcase the deep love and sacrifices of dogs towards their owners. In any case, it is obvious that these animals are not much worse than the human beings in the respective bad behaviours attached to them! Legions of untoward incidents happening all around the world push us to see if there is a way to learn humanity from thes genetic wisdom of these animals!
