Mankind has a beginningless legacy of cruelty to animals - especially if they are smaller than we are. Perhaps, if we took our frustrations out on each other, there would be fewer of us around to torment animals. Like many people who are forced by events into doing the right thing with animals, my wife and I have taken in, adopted or saved 5 large dogs over the past ten years. Each of them facing very uncertain fates and having suffered inexplicable cruelty. As a result of this, we believe our life spans have been extended, and - hopefully - very small piece of mankind's regrettable karma with animals has been offset. The gentle, comical, compelling, unconditional love we have received from these creatures is beyond description. Your photo is great; the gesture is greater. I'm thinking your eyes have been opened wider and we may see more such shots from you. Please; show us more shots like this as the flow of life frames them for you. No turning back, now!

While you were doing this karmic work you obviously didn't see fit to have these two guys named appropriately. Obviously their destines call for them to be known as Lee and Friedlander. (and if I were anywhere close to there they wouldn't be homeless. GREAT shot.)
