How can you not love a puppy? We’re wired for it. A plausible argument can be made for a theory that humans would not exist without their partnership with dogs.

She is three months old. She doesn’t have a name officially – yet. She already knows how to jump her prey and do the twist and stake maneuver that would break a neck. She walks with a wide stance on the slippery floors so she won’t fall down. She has already taken me down.
