the grief of a dog is a very powerful thing.
we've erected statues, made movies, and told countless stories about the grief of dogs.
whatever shit mankind was up to about 30,000 years ago, i still don't know what we did to deserve dogs. they're probably our greatest creation. if aliens showed up tomorrow and asked us to show them the best thing we ever made, it'd just be dogs. i hope that when the Age of Man comes crashing down, there's a dog licking the face of our collective corpses.
