Share the Wealth

One of the very first things we are taught is how to share. This does not appear to be a natural inclination, not in people and certainly not in dogs. But sometimes you capture moments where sharing is done with pleasure. Take a stick for example. A perfect sharing object if it's the right size.

Here we see how sharing comes to be. Notice how Leeloo is reaching for the long end of the stick.
And here we see sharing being demonstrated as an equal distribution of the object being shared.The object seems to bring an equal amount of pride to each individual and so that feeling is also shared.And what better way to share than to bring the object to Mommy to show how sharing was accomplished and thus reap the reward of shared praise. I like to think I have taught my dogs well in this oft forgotten art
