We used to have a cute little dachshund named Oscar. Wiener dogs have a reputation for being fiercely loyal and protective of their masters. Occasionally, I would plop down into my living room recliner and take a nap. Inevitably, my mouth would fall open and I would begin breathing heavily, or even snore a bit.
Apparently, Oscar, upon seeing and hearing this, thought I was in some sort of distress. So he would jump on to my chest and begin licking my face intensely. It would scare the beejeebers out of me! But it meant a lot to me that the little critter cared so much for my well being that he rushed to my aid when he thought I was in danger.
It’s always a blessing to let people know they are loved. Nobody gets tired of love being demonstrated for them.
Probably not a good idea to lick them in the face though.
Very good point.
