The Law of the Paw. Can’t be denied. I *am* kind of fascinated by the bond between human and dog. All those thousands of years of contact, changing dogs into something that is different from their wolf distant ancestors. I follow HerdyShepherd on Twitter (James Rebanks, herdwick shepherd on the Yorkshire dales.)The way he talks about his sheep dogs is full of love and appreciation for their intelligence and devotion. Unfortunately, he quit Twitter though does post on Instagram. Until you’ve lived with a dog, I don’t think you realize what amazing creatures they are. And, of course, cocker spaniels are among the most beautiful and entertaining examples of the species.
