Shih Tzu Owner's Guide

Do animals have a soul?

Most in the pulpit today would say "NO", but do they know their Bible's history?

Let's look at how a simple biblical passage answered the question long ago but became mistranslated along the way.

MODERN TRANSLATION:

Genesis 1:29-30 KJV:

 [29] And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
[30] And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 

*This passage isn't very obvious but, we're left a clue ➡ "...wherein there is life". Indeed, digging deeper concerning the term "life", we find that in earlier translations "life" was actually "breath of life", sound familiar?

Clearly something was lost in the modern translation used today. So let's go even further back, as close to the beginning as we can get!

✔ Now let's look at the earliest possible translation; the most accurate translations of the earliest available manuscripts, the complete Jewish Bible.

EARLIEST TRANSLATION

B'resheet (Gen) 1:29d-30 CJB:

 29Then God said, “Here! Throughout the whole earth I am giving you as food every seed-bearing plant and every tree with seed-bearing fruit. 30And to every wild animal, bird in the air and creature crawling on the earth, in which there is a living soul, I am giving as food every kind of green plant.” And that is how it was.

And there it is, Yes animals have a soul!
"Born innocent and bound by instincts, animals are never burdened with the choice between good and evil.

Instead, their childlike souls exist within creation as an innocence that's always been and always will be in the Creator's unencumbered presence".

Definitely use a harness instead of a collar for your Shih Tzu.

Unlike a collar, a harness evenly distributes pressure across the chest, back, and shoulders, making it a much safer option.

◾ Shih Tzu have delicate neck and throats. Collars can be overly restrictive on their airways

◾ Collars may damage the trachea and even cause "Tracheal Collapse".

◾ The throat pressure from a collar can create breathing difficulties.

You can still use a collar for tags even when wearing the harness - just be sure to attach the leash to the harness and not the collar.

Keep your Shih Tzu mentally stimulated.

Treat-dispensing puzzles and interactive toys challenge your pup and can improve your dog’s problem solving skills. BONUS: You'll have just as much fun as your Tzu with this!

Moderate daily exercise is excellent.

Whether it's a walk in the neighborhood, a nice romp in the backyard or letting your dog zoom through the house when the zoomies hit, it's important that your dog gets some form of exercise on a daily basis.

Talking to your Shih Tzu encourages trust and bonding.

Dogs understand more than we give them credit for. Certainly talk to them and don't feel silly about it! Hearing your loving voice not only comforts them but helps them get to really know you and deeply bond with you.

In fact, doing so will form a strong, lifelong friendship that will go beyond what words can ever explain or others understand.

Never hesitate to say "I love you" to your dog.

They understand our emotions on a deeper level than we can imagine.
*But what about words themselves?
It's been shown by Dr. Masaru Emoto that words expressing love, kindness and gratitude can actually change the shape of water on a molecular level!

-Dr. Emoto's experiments have been reproduced with the same results all over the world.

*Could the mere sound of spoken words have influence?

Dog's May Sense Love More Than We Do...
After all, if dogs can:

✔Smell cancer (▶ Click here for Reference)

✔Detect heart attacks before they happen (▶ Click here for Reference)

✔Can detect seizures more than 20 minutes in advance (▶ Click here for Reference)

✔THEN "SENSING LOVE" MAY VERY WELL COME NATURALLY TO DOGS! 💖

Don't let anyone say your dog doesn't understand the words "I love you".

Make sure you doggie gets plenty of sunshine!

✔ Sunlight aids animals in the production of serotonin, an antidepressant that generates feelings of well-being in both animals and humans.

✔ Vitamin D. Dogs get most of it from their diets. But, when in the Sun, sebaceous oil is produced on their coats which then turns to Vitamin D when they groom themselves and injest it.

✔ Sunlight  produces the hormone melatonin in both animals and humans. Melatonin can help regulate sleep cycles and provide a better sleep experience.

✔ Sunshine has been shown to boost the immunity systems in both humans and their pets.

✔ In older dogs, the Sun's warm embrace may offer temporary relief from arthritis, rheumatism and other afflictions.
