Dogs (Should) Rule

With the world in turmoil, suffering a plague that has killed more than 1.5 million people = everyone in Philadelphia, Phoenix or San Antonio; and the U.S. death toll at 275,000 and counting = every man, woman and child in Toledo, or Jersey City, Buffalo or St. Petersburg; may we talk for a moment about the lessons and consolations we’re offered by dogs?

Of course we can — and should.
Dogs’ lessons to us are trust, love and faithfulness.

Not faith — perhaps the most debased and abused word by the millions of humans who use it — but faithfulness.

The difference is that faith involves things unseen, and not subject to proof; but faithfulness can be seen and is provable.

The first story was about Akita Hachiko. If you don't cry about that story you have no heart.
