It is difficult to capture the divinity of dogs in words. But even the attempt is rewarding. I wrote in this piece on the relationship between us and the dog, exploring how our mutts can reframe our entire world view in a positive light.

What is a metal car without a mutt’s head sticking out of the window and whose black lips are flapping in the wind? What is a silent kitchen without the click click click of nails on oak floor boards? What is a quiet room at night without the snoring of a dog dreaming savage dreams whose lips and eyelids are twitching, whose little hooves are clenching, and whose whimpers make us want to bear their pain?
