Why is it that we, on the average, look at a dog and feel the need to scratch behind its ears and pet it?
"Scuse me, can I pet your dog?"
And if you have the joy of owning your own, you go for walks, to the park, around the neighborhood--wherever--so you can share him/her with those that ask you,
"Scuse me, can I pet your dog?"
...and it almost always results in a smile.
Children giggle at the gentle return of prickly whiskers and a slimey tongue when they give animals attention.
So I wonder, why in a world where people rarely take the time to stop and really talk with each other about genuine thoughts and feelings, will people take the time to stop and pet a breathing, walking, slobbery, whisker-filled, tongue-wagging dog?
