Goodbye Rudy

I'm a dog walker.   According to a dog training book I once read, dogs and ancient man got together around a campfire while the dogs were scavenging scraps.   The dogs followed the nomads and hung around the cave and tent dwellers.   Except for the few that were occasionally a meal, dogs, on the surface, provided no benefit to people.   I'm sure they even stole some food that wasn't scraps, howled and barked making it hard to sleep and even pooped to close to the campfire.   (All these things remind me of my two.)

They provided no benefit on the surface.   But people have kept dogs around for a long time because of a greater benefit.    Somehow they are a comfort.   Pets of all kind, but especially dogs, are our connection to the wild world.   Our connection from whence we came.   Remember the movie "Dancing With Wolves"?

The Commissioner and Ma lost one of their fur balls this week.   Hang on to the comfort he brought.
