“I think an animal, especially a dog, is possibly the purest experience you can have. No person and few children, unless they’re still infants, are as unpremeditated, as undemanding, really. They only ask to survive. They want to eat. They are totally dependent on you, and therefore completely vulnerable. And this complete vulnerability is what enables you to open your heart completely, which you rarely do to a human being. Except, perhaps, children. Who thinks you’re as fantastic as your dog?”
