Yogi is a West Highland white terrier, a Westie, that I gave to my wife as a puppy at a difficult time in our marriage. In the three years since, Yogi has been both a positive and a negative in our lives. He is an important part of our relationship as a shared interest and as an icebreaker when we have arguments. Yogi has also caused friction between us, for example with my wife blaming me for his destructive puppy habits such as chewing the furniture. He has been so difficult at times that sending him back to the breeder was a constant possibility. Yogi, however, has taught me so much. For example, walking the streets and parks with him has made me realise the importance of being open to the people I meet, the benefits of being a good listener (talking to a dog is great therapy and a wonderful way to work though problems because dogs do not talk back), the importance of habits and routines (how winning the first hour of the day can make the rest of the day better), of being mindful of ourselves and our surroundings, of living in the moment and being grateful for what we have, and much more.I hope this work will appeal to readers who want to reflect on life and meaning, as well as those who like dogs and the benefits of simply walking around and really looking at our surroundings and the sky. And there is a happy conclusion, in that my wife and I remain married and Yogi has become a permanent part of the family.
