At What Cost

'At the deepest core of your being how you value things is always reflected in the clear light of truth.'
 
It is generally proven that dogs are excellent barometers when it comes to reading the truth of human nature.  Their ability to map human intention, behaviour and future actions, even before their dim-witted bipedal masters have even thought about it, is uncannily accurate.  Your average pampered pooch, even with an overwhelming array of luxury and distraction, can scent out an ill willed Homosapien without much trouble.  The nose is where it all happens, incoming signals set off hypersensitive identifications in the form of virtual smell vision feedback, chemical sighted snout sight.
 
And then there are the elite agents when it comes to sniffing out human hormonal driven intents thoughts and actions.  Street Dogs are the ultimate readers.
 
There is a terrible cost associated with such an instinctive edge, a gift that keeps every canine street dweller adrenaline twitchy and robs them of uninterrupted slumber and fearless dreams.
 
Observing these incredible readers of human behaviour is becoming more difficult as their stage is being eroded rapidly.  Their ability to unmask and instantly uncover the truth of our ugly intent is being messed up and bombarded by an avalanche of stimuli that not only confuses but destroys the cues that not so long ago where transparent to these amazing beings.
 
On Bali, India, Nepal and those global locations where street dog numbers are diminishing, a silent genocide of ancient instinct is vanishing and along with its loss is the reality that the cost to us is so much more than the relationship.
