The Power of Canine Loyalty:

The Inspiring Story Behind Edwin Henry Landseer's Painting "Saved"

In 1856, British artist Edwin Henry Landseer created a poignant painting titled "Saved," which tells the story of a devoted dog's heroic rescue of his owner from a shipwreck. The painting is based on a true event that occurred over a century ago, when an English merchant and passenger ship, the "St. John," sank off the coast of Ireland in 1845. The tragedy resulted in the loss of many lives, but one remarkable story of survival and loyalty emerged.
A Newfoundland dog named Swain, who was on board the ship, refused to leave his owner, a young woman, behind. As the waves crashed against the shore, Swain swam with the woman to safety, saving her life. This incredible act of loyalty and bravery inspired Landseer to create his iconic painting, "Saved."
The painting depicts the moment when Swain and the woman reach the shore, exhausted but alive. Swain is shown standing proudly beside his owner, his fur soaked with seawater, his eyes gleaming with devotion. The woman lies on the ground. The painting is a testament to the unbreakable bond between humans and animals and the power of canine loyalty and rescue instincts.
Landseer's "Saved" has become an iconic representation of the Newfoundland breed's reputation as loyal and heroic companions. The painting has inspired countless reproductions, adaptations, and tributes, cementing its place in the hearts of art lovers and dog enthusiasts alike. The story behind "Saved" serves as a reminder of the enduring power of love, loyalty, and companionship between humans and animals.

Your Dog Is Your Mirror: The Emotional Capacity of Our Dogs and Ourselves by Kevin Behan explores the deep emotional connection between humans and dogs, proposing that dogs act as mirrors for their owners' emotions, often reflecting feelings we may not even realize we have. Behan, a dog trainer with decades of experience, dives into the idea that dogs’ behavior and emotional responses are profoundly linked to their human companions’ internal states.

Here are 10 lessons from the book:

1. Dogs Reflect Human Emotions: Behan argues that dogs instinctively tune into their owners' emotions and often mirror these feelings through their behavior. When we experience stress, anxiety, or joy, our dogs sense it and may act accordingly, showing behavioral changes that reflect our own emotions.

2. The Concept of “Emotional Projection”: The book introduces the idea that dogs respond to our projected emotions rather than simply following training or cues. Behan suggests that dogs feel compelled to react to the emotions we may unconsciously project, impacting their behavior in unexpected ways.

3. Bond Beyond Training: Unlike traditional dog training, which emphasizes obedience, Behan emphasizes understanding the emotional dynamics between dog and owner. He believes that behavior issues often have roots in emotional disconnect rather than just a lack of discipline or training.

4. Recognizing Your Influence on Your Dog: According to Behan, self-awareness is crucial for dog owners. By recognizing and understanding our own emotional states, we can gain insight into why our dogs act a certain way and address behavioral problems at their root.

5. Dogs as Healers: The book highlights that dogs often have a calming, therapeutic effect on their owners. Behan suggests that this ability comes from their capacity to absorb and reflect emotions, often helping people deal with stress or unresolved feelings.

6. Understanding Behavior as Communication: Behan encourages viewing a dog’s actions not as “good” or “bad” behavior but as a form of emotional communication. Instead of merely correcting behavior, he advises interpreting what the behavior might reveal about the dog’s emotional state or its owner’s feelings.

7. Embracing Vulnerability and Connection: Dogs encourage their owners to access vulnerable emotions and foster authentic connections. Behan explains that by being open to emotional honesty, owners can deepen their bond with their dogs and see improvements in the relationship.

8. Shared Emotional Energy: The book describes the idea of “emotional energy” that dogs and humans share. This energy transfer allows dogs to pick up on subtle cues and respond in ways that can be surprisingly intuitive, even beyond what humans can consciously recognize.

9. Re-evaluating Traditional Discipline: Rather than relying on discipline alone, Behan suggests that dog owners take a more compassionate approach, addressing underlying emotions that may influence behavior, leading to a more harmonious relationship with their dogs.

10. Dogs as Emotional Guides: Behan proposes that dogs guide us through our own emotional journey, teaching us empathy, patience, and self-reflection. By understanding their responses, owners can learn more about their own needs, fears, and emotional landscape.
