Are you there God? It's me, Kuno. I know you've assigned us dogs the task of helping the humans to learn to sniff out the happiness in the world, to appreciate the simple pleasures like a warm bed and a full belly and to just be good. It's been a harder job than we imagined, though. Instead of sniffing out happiness, a good portion of them use their senses to find things that make them angry and snarly. Many of them get all worked up about what others say or do instead of just trying to make their own home happy. Sometimes they are mean and they seem to really fear change. But I want to let you know that I think we're making progress! I see so much goodness in the world. I see humans trying to listen to one another and understand. I see them sharing with those who have much less than them. I see them reaching out and lending a paw to help others. I see them look at their dogs and smile and I think maybe they're starting to learn to be a bit more like us. It's a big job and it'll take awhile but I think us dogs are doing a good job. I hope you think so too. Oh, and if you wanted to send a little bacon my way I'd be very appreciative.
