True listening can enhance every relationship in one's life, and can transform broken associations and inject new life into business and social interactions. Dogs do not just listen with their ears, they listen with their entire being. Dogs pay extremely close attention to us they study our facial expressions, our body language, our eye movements, and our voice patterns. Dogs don't interrupt us, finish our sentences, offer advice, try to top our stories, or text us instead of talking to us. It's time to take a fresh look at listening and we need go no further than the furry best friend at our feet. Why? Because even though they don't speak our language, they really listen. Even if you can't have a real discussion, when compared to conversations with humans you'd probably admit that dogs are the better communicators-paws down.
