So Good To See You (top view)

"As human humility begins to outstrip human vanity, people will come to respect, and even imitate, the greater abilities and qualities that Earth's other creatures possess. Dogs, who never gloat or hold grudges, despite having all the reason in the world to do so, will generously reveal to humankind many secrets of the universe. Not so much secrets, really, as the obvious: things that our frantic lives had willfully and ceremoniously obscured.

For instance, here, two dachshunds demonstrate the passive yin and the active yang that the truly wise can recognize within everything.

Previously, the uninitiated had perceived this ultimate state of harmony as merely 'sleeping in.'"
