As much as our dogs mean to us, we mean much more to them. I just got a video of an old friends kid coming home after a year away from his rather large mutt. You've all seen them. A dog is a large part of our lives, we are everything to them.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
