There is an old Polish proverb: The greater love is a mother’s, then comes a dog’s, then a sweetheart’s.

I learned early on on life what love was by having a dog. The companionship, belief that your human can do no wrong,the everlasting loyalty is exempary of what true love is all about, and needs to be borne out in human/human contact, which is what life is all about, or should be!

A poster says, “The greatest mistake of mankind…”

Hardly. Dogs are an integral part of our history and culture. Hating them is tantamount to hating yourself… IMHO.

Hi Fernandez,

The illustration was done by Tony Hall. He has passed away, but his wife posts a lot of his work on Flickr. You can see more here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/libbyhalldogs/with/5417659625/#photo_5417659625

After watching neighborhood dogs scavenging loaded Pampers in the garbage cans on the street, I wondered whether dogs/wolves may have been brought into caves during the Ice Age partly to clean up after our ancestors who could then throw the dogs out in the cold to do their business.
