In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog.
~Edward Hoagland
By educating ourselves about our dogs, we learn to see things from their perspective. The result is that we become more human, and humane.
