People in the country live a hallowed life. Ask them. They live a much simpler life and seemingly with more purpose than city dwellers. At least according to my younger grandchildren who love to come out because it is “never boring here.” There is never a wasted time or moment, and everything has a purpose.

To promote compassion for animals, in The Philosophy of Civilization, Albert Schweitzer wrote, “We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace.”

So far, the main focus has been the safety of the people — while attempting to decrease massive nuclear threats. The only dogs seen through the media in Japan have been international search-and-rescue teams working at finding victims.

A New York Times article by Natalie Angier titled, “The Creature Connection,” is a story that begins with Bashert. A gentle, scone-colored poodle who is described as a Ginger Rogers Chia Pet … she pulls her family together even when they do not get along, like most families.
“… she’s clearly convinced there is no human problem so big she can’t lick it. Lost your job, or bedridden for days? Lick. Feeling depressed, incompetent, in an existential malaise? Lick.”

It is important to understand that people who work with animals also spend a vast amount of time doing manual labor, such as cleaning out cages and cleaning up after all sorts of mishaps. But if you truly love animals and have spent any amount of time with dogs at all, my guess is that you already realize that a certain amount of cleaning comes with the territory (no pun intended!).
