Why
are we drawn to Canines?
I think we are drawn to
dogs because they are the uninhibited creatures we might be if we
weren't certain we knew better. They fight for honor at the first
challenge, make love with no moral restraint, and they do not for all of
their marvelous instincts seem to know about death. Being such
wonderfully uncomplicated creatures, they need us to do their worrying.
True story:
On a
grave behind an iron fence in the town of Beddgelert in North Wales
there stands a marker that recounts the legend of Llewelyn, a
thirteenth-century prince whose dog, Gelert, disappeared mysteriously
one day as his master rode out to the hunt. When the prince returned,
his infant son was nowhere to be found, the childs bed was overturned
and bloody, and Gelert had blood dripping from his fangs. Convinced that
the dog had devoured the child, Prince Llewelyn drew his sword and
plunged it into the dog. Gelert's dying cry awoke the sleeping child,
who was concealed under his bedclothes. Hidden under the bed was the
body of an enormous wolf . . . with its throat torn out.
