Dogs and People
Ever walk past a dog and instantly think, “That one looks dangerous”?
Maybe it’s big. Maybe it’s scarred. Maybe it’s barking because life taught it that’s how you protect yourself.
But then you get close…
and realize it just wants someone to sit, stay, and trust.
A gentle soul wrapped in a body the world misjudged.
People are the same.
We judge the size, the tattoos, the attitude, the silence, the history
without ever giving them a chance to show who they truly are.
Some aren’t angry… they’re scared.
Some aren’t cold… they’re protecting their heart.
Some aren’t dangerous… they’ve just been hurt before.
Imagine what could happen if we led with curiosity instead of fear.
So before you cross the street, look away, or write someone off pause.
They might just be the loyal, loving soul you’ve been searching for.
What’s a time you misjudged someone and were glad you were wrong?
Share it. Someone needs that reminder today.
