We as a society put so much emphasis on "things", and far too little emphasis on relationships. On the exterior dogs may crave things. But objects only bring temporary, fleeting pleasure, like a drug. When the drug is gone, so too goes the pleasure. On the interior what dogs truly seek is a secure connection to us as parents, just like children. This is an ultimate intention which underlies and motivates their every behavior and is founded in their will to survive.
