Never underestimate the power of like-minded people.
We are nothing without others in our life. Each one of us is drawn to those that laugh with us, cry with us and comfort us in times of sorrow.
These thoughts come to mind as, to my humble amazement, the number of followers of Learning from Dogs approaches 500 and I reflect on how many of you, dear readers, now feel like friends. (Update: as at 7:40 pm last night, Raechelsheart became follower number 500! Thank you all.)
So from that parochial view to the following video. No introduction required by me, other than to thank neighbours Dordie and Bill who brought this performance to my attention.
Finally, it’s not just humans who are drawn together. Here’s Pharaoh getting to know puppy Cleo back on the 7th April last year. They are now deeply connected friends who share their whole lives together; with so much fun.

Fresh from my latest comment on unemployment being censored by the (usually kind) New York Times, thanks for giving me an outlet, Paul, and for your always surprising and provocative set of publications.

Patrice, you are yet another example of a friend across the ether. Not only a friend but a person who has offered so much wisdom and education to me, and countless others I don’t doubt.

Reminds me of something I was reading just yesterday from George Monbiot about the land Robber Barons in the UK.
This global madness!!

Capitalism for the poor, socialism for the rich, is no more crazy than grains for the hens, and hens for the foxes. Evolution is also about predation.
