My invisible dogs @lobster wanted to see.
The best teachers I know.
What a couple of sweeties! Who need Alan Watts with friends like those?
@genkaku, you're going to absolutely hate me for this but while I wholeheartedly agree, and will never argue or contradict A. D. Williams' comment, the nano~video accompanying it, is 'photoshopped'.... The two images (dog & girl) are a 'montage'....
Cute.
But artfully created....
That said, establish a wonderful rapport and connection with an animal, and no human encounter can beat it....
@genkaku Related to whether or not certain emotion-generating images are staged (like most of the things on Facebook), I offer up something my eldest son once said to me:
"Truth can come from anywhere, including the mouths of liars."
I think it is more important to focus on the intent and meaning, rather than the delivery.
Kids reading to homeless cats ... Iz good plan

@federica -- Not at all. It's sort of like Buddhism in my mind -- It's all photoshopped and the heart lurches nevertheless.
