  • Hi Dormouse, thank you for sharing this positive and interesting story. Dogs are great companions and my woofer is certainly my best mate. Our ancestors' brains were well developed and I sense we still underestimate them, through our own pride at technological achievement and the paucity of records from those times. We owe them so much, including domestication of dogs!

  • I have found it worth paying attention to those canines familiar with me (any, not just pets); as I have come to realise while my alexithymia might be operating in a time warp / lag zone ...a savvy dog can provide me an advance nudge about "whatever" they might have noticed in me - while I was still oblivious.
