This bit has been sparking thought since you first posted it, and, I have to agree with MC. I mean, when a poor man loses his "friend in need", what does he have? And, what has a society, for all its wealth, lost, except for a potent reminder of its ineptitude in satisfying basic human needs?

Furthermore, just an aside, I see so many people who say they love dogs and then spend thousands on a pedigree from a puppy mill. That doesn't seem like compassion to me.

Thanks, Ronnie,

These lines had me thinking about what happens to
either a man or the dog often in company when either
passes on? Here in London the pairing is often seen -
but it's all too easy to walk by dispensing a little cash but
perhaps little thought about their jointly dependent situation.
