呵呵,别着急说上当了,这本书不直接讲人之间的爱和忠诚,可是你读完后,决定会觉得有收获,不信,你可以读读我引用的文中的原话。
这本书前面读起来很轻松,因为讲的主要是这条能量奇大的狗惹的祸。最好几章让人很难受。因为狗老了,作者很细致得描写了狗的挣扎,最后不得不给狗安乐死。让人感慨生命的短暂和脆弱。
不过,最喜欢作者思念狗是得到的感悟,以下是引用原文:
“Marley taught me about living eash day to the fullest. He taught me to seize the moment and follow my heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things like a walk in the woods or a fresh snowfall. Mostly, he taught me how to be a good, loyal friend. "
"Was it possible for a dog-any dog, but especially a nutty, wild one like ours-to point humans to the things that really mattered in life? Things like loyalty, courage, and devotion. And the things that did not matter, too? A dog has no use for fancy cars of big homes or designer clothes. A waterlogged stick will do just fine. A dog judges others not by how they look but by who they are inside. A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, smart of dull. give him your heart, and he will give you his. It was really quite simple. "
"Sometimes it took a dog with stinky breath and bad manners to help us see what really counts in life. Despite all his flaws, Marley had givenus a gift that no amount of money could buy. He gave us the gift of total, complete love. he taught us hwo to give it and how to accept it. When you have love, most of the other pieces fall into place."
