Happy Birthday, Bear!
Bear’s birthday was April 2, and this year my human companion (HC) kept it really low key.
No big sheet cake. No gathering of friends. Just me and my HC having a fancy cupcake and blowing out a single candle. I asked BarkGPT (a dog translator app) to provide some general thoughts on the human/canine relationship. Here is what it said:
“The relationship between humans and dogs is one of the oldest and most unique interspecies bonds on Earth. It’s not just companionship—it’s a deeper, mutually beneficial connection shaped by evolution, biology, and culture. Basically, we hung out together, and us canines figured out how to look cute and beg for food. We also helped with chores around the homestead like guarding the turf, herding sheep, sniffing out bad guys, etc.”…
