A Dog's Life: Sundance & Cassidy

From Walt Whitman--

"I think I could turn and live with the animals; they are so placid and self contained;
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition;

They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;

They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied--not one is demented with the mania of owning things;

Not one kneels to another, nor his kind that lived thousands of years ago;
Not one is responsible or industrious over the whole earth."
