MAKE EVERYTHING FOR YOUR DREAMS
“It doesn’t matter if you have a style, a reputation, or don’t give a God of money. If you don’t have a good heart, you have no value at all”
Louis de Funès
I was born in the last century and I am certainly a representative of the “old school” of education, philosophy and life itself. This does not in itself preclude the use of modern living, the application of the latest technologies, and the use of the brain and heart to combine everything together, having and fulfilling the meaning of life.
As a school-bound child, I had to go to bed early. My intelligent parents were advised to respect. However, every night I waited for the return of one of the best wild beast keepers I had ever known when he came from work. My uncle Francis.
He always slept me with the story of his working day at the zoo, whether it was a wonderful lion Omar or a hummingbird. He was a wonderful man and I owe him my interest in all the living things that surround us wherever we live. Only after he had finished talking and let go of my hand, could I be totally exhausted asleep. That’s when I first encountered something that I could later identify as the release of my mind outside my body. I couldn’t work with it then, and in a way I learn it with incredible diligence and patience today.
Growing up in those times inside the totalitarian “Iron Curtain” was very restrictive, and the potential danger was more or less elsewhere than on the streets or gardens of our houses. Yet they did not avoid people and often became victims of violence, assault and theft. The dog has always been with the tradition of the best friend of man part of professional and private security, protection, patrol and performed these important tasks in both the military, police forces, prison service, rail and airport protection and, of course, in the public sector. There was always enough work and application for him. Then I began to realize why I became more and more interested in the dog. Much more than a fish in an aquarium, a canary in a cage and a hamster that ran away again and runs like a race in our bathroom. With the arrival of a new guardian of our household, a lattice-shaped python, my first cross from the street, Vasco de Gama, soon appeared, thanks to my grandmother, who was sorry to be home alone so often. Not so far ugly dog and I was ecstatic with this gift!
Across the Australian wild dog Dingo to the German Boxers, Doberman, German and Belgian Shepherds Malinois or Russian Terriers and finally to the American Pit Bull Terrier passed my hands, house, flat and life several hundred dogs. Both by personal property and as part of their rearing, training, re-education or sport or work commitment.
Although several of them are always the first to glimpse in my mind their depth of gravity of our connection, one can remember with love all. Black Russian Terrier BORIS was THOR among all thanks to its beauty, monumentality, character, strength and health. When you run like a dream in the exhibition ring world exhibition until the final five with a dog, with whom you still experienced the hell of fighting with the criminal elements in the security service to guard the sleep of family and my children in a small ground floor apartment, so you always remember such an animal will brighten the mind and cloud the eyes with tears of memories of those stories he has given you in life. Including when you realize at what moment you are saving your life!
Is it possible then to devote himself entirely to something else in life?
Certainly yes. Work as work. But I think that never with such love, dedication and enthusiasm. Therefore, the dog accompanies me to life today and perhaps the last of them will be with me even on my day of leaving this world …
Therefore, “still a dog” expresses the seriousness and importance of the relationship of man and his best friend in the historical context of more than ten thousand years to the present and it is up to us to bring it all in the future. It may be interesting to anyone where we come from, where and how we live today and what we do, but more importantly, where and in what condition we will be tomorrow. You, your children and quite possibly your dog. And believe me, Facebook will not help anyone to succeed in our future. It’s up to us. So, in my case, only me.
