Tao is the way or the path but its just a guide to help you, my dog Sunny embodies this. His path started with a leap into my mothers car window while she was driving down the road. A month later we adopted him and began to guide him down the right path, with the name Sunny we hoped he would end up with a sunny disposition . We've had many abused animals but he was severely abused and didn't trust anybody and would constantly growl and attack you if he felt the least bit threatened. Over the course of about two years my family taught him trust and to relax in situations around us and new people. It wasn't easy however his old habits died hard but after a year or so he began to change, slow at first and then quicker. He was learning more and more every day and now he is an intelligent and loyal dog. He stays calm and relaxed, and is friendly to everyone. With Tao Te Ching there is only a guide and you must be the one to walk the path, for this Sunny is the enlightened one. We were only there to show and teach him he is the one that wanted change and accomplished this. Sunny walking the path!
