“Trust dogs. They always know who to stay away from.”
The Sage
The Sage believes that dogs possess an ancient, unspoken wisdom that far surpasses our own. As he puts it: “Trust dogs. They always know who to stay away from.” And he’s right. Dogs have an uncanny knack for sniffing out the truly dodgy — be it a deceitful salesman, a visiting in-law, or anyone who uses the word “synergy” unironically.
While humans waste time reading body language or analysing motives, dogs simply know. A low growl or a strategic retreat tells you everything you need to know about someone’s character. The Sage advises taking this behaviour seriously. If your dog avoids a person, you probably should too — or at least keep them on a shorter metaphorical leash.
Of course, this principle also works in reverse. If a dog bounds up to someone, wagging like an overexcited metronome, that’s usually a sign of good heart — or at least an owner who smells faintly of bacon. So next time you’re uncertain about a new acquaintance, don’t consult your instincts — consult your Labrador.
