The other day, a co-worker of mine at the Dog Temple said something which has stuck with me: that either he or I could take any one of these dogs home with us, keep it (and take care of it obviously) and the dogs would be perfectly happy with it. While the specifics of such a hypothetical arrangement would certainly vary from dog to dog (we have dogs who just sit and whine all day by the door, waiting for their masters), I completely *got* what he meant, even if I can’t quite nail it down into a few explanatory words. I think it has something to do with Caritas though…
