The Dog

While fixing breakfast this morning I caught the end of a show on Animal Planet. It was touching really, a lioness had lost track of her cub and they had finally found one another, something you would see in the Lion King, except this was real. The aww inspiring music began to kick in as the conclusion to the show began to blend in with the credits. Naturally, my mind began to wander about life in the wild and the many things it entails, especially in the savannas. But then the mood was abruptly altered when the music was cut off and the preview to the next show began to animate the screen. The next show: Me or the Dog. Me or the dog? Yeah it’s just the title to a show but the thing is, I just know this scenario has played out more than once, somewhere at some point, and the dog won. Whoever played “me” in this role, my thoughts go out to ya, that’s rough…really really rough.
