- Gross things smell amazing!
- There is something peaceful and calming about wandering through a park, leash in hand, a hairy dog by your side.
- It’s strange to feel validated by watching an animal defecate.
- Bags are turned inside out before picking up poo. Why?
- Objects we may not notice on a regular day are often fascinating beacons of wonder to dogs.
- The hips can move irrespective of the rest of the body.
- When you walk two enormous animals, you feel invincible. When you walk a tiny dog, you feel like you need to explain yourself.
- Even though I know it’s no big deal, my heart still goes out to whimpering dogs, tied to poles, outside of grocery stores.
- Small pool of water or running stream? Awesome. Dead fish on the shore? Priceless.
- We are intimately connected to the world around us.
