Dog 'ownership'...

Please take a moment to look into this dog's eyes!! a long moment......What you may see there is the raison d'etre for this website. We need look no further than the daily news to see evidence of the insanity of our race....no further than our own behaviours (if we have the courage to be honest) to see the power of the egoic mind....scared to look at ourselves? then let's look at our neighbour! Ha !!! easy to see it there isn't it?!! Enough said!! We all know then what we are up against when it comes to an emotive subject like 'Animal Abuse'.
If we adopt an animal....what is our role? Should we 'educate' them by beating them into submission? Obviously not!! Should we feed them inferior rubbish food ,because it's more 'practical' for us? Should we treat them as toys for the kids? Should we disregard their need for security and love and leave them alone for hours...days on end? Should we adopt or buy a dog and then dispose of it when we are fed up with it? Should we ....well!! There are too many 'should we's' to continue......sadly, all these abuses are common in our world.

Welcome

I adopted Nanette.... a traumatized Hunting Dog...three years ago. She had been taken from the previous owner for cruel treatment and placed in a Refuge, where she existed and survived for 2 years here in Southern France .. Absolutely no treatment was given to her for extreme trauma during that time...

Nanette had clearly never lived with human beings in the accepted sense, even though she knows all about the dark side of humanity. I was to discover that she had been subjected to the utmost in perverted cruel treatment of her physical and psychological Being. My life with this haunted animal has raised many questions about our assumptions as dog 'owners'!!! and as such, is the raison d'etre of this website.

I am life which wills to live
in the midst of life which wills to live.

By respect for life
we become religious in a way
that is elementary, profound
and alive.
