It's hard to be the new guy at school, but even the youngest kids know it's not cool to have your parents come in and take care of your troubles. So each day Harry runs straight to his room, thankful thr school bully, Chuck, hasn't turned him into a people pancake-yet.It's on one of these days when Harry thinks he' alone in his room that he complains out loud. He just wishes he had someone to talk to. This time a friendly voice offers to listen, a voice he hasn't heard before, a voice he must keep to himself.After all, who would believe Grandpa's dog can talk.But the dog is a good listener, and gives good advice. It makes me wish I had such a canine during some of my adolescence. Growing up is not for sissies!Even adults could use some of this advice. We often tend to toss our children in school and forget about them. After all, that's why the teacher's there, right?Some years I taught over 180 students in every day. Just how much individual attention do you think I was able to give each child?It really disturbs me when I see a classroom on television and the teacher has only twelve or fifteen students. Just what planet are they from? But I had a day like that, I would've rectified Henry's problem before he complained to the dog.Until that day comes, thank Heaven for dogs who listen to troubles and cats who soothe the tears of a rotten day away. Maybe, in reality, dogs can't really talk, but they do a good job of listening, as any child can tell you. Many good parents do a good job of tip-toeing to listen in.
