Dogs by Design

There's some vid of monkeys kidnapping wild puppies and adopting them. The gregariousness of the two species, beyond the symbiotic aspects, definitely reflects the human-canine associations.

The Creators designed the material universe to spawn self- and Dirty-aware consciousness because, love. Then, gave us dogs to be our loyal family, to keep us humble.

There's a mangy stray hanging around on the ranch lately. Collar, but can't see tags. Seems domesticated. Won't allow people to approach, though. Abandoned would be a good guess (our place draws them), but spooked by fireworks & lost is a distant 2nd possibility. In any case, say a prayer to the doggie deities we can catch him or her soon.
