I was looking at my silly coonhound this evening as she was running around in a circle howling and chasing an imaginary creature only visible to her and smiled. In these divided times , we can learn so much from dogs and the way they lead their lives. Their interactions with their owners are genuine. they are generally content, and are greatful for even simple things like a pat on the head. Politics is meaningless to them as well as other topics that generally stress humans. Sometimes I wish I was a dog!
