~~~Well, quite a difference in attitude of the military, whoever they may be (this looks like an Iraqi boy, perhaps....a teenager?) His gentle stroking of the cat's head shows quite a different attitude towards defenseless animals---compared to the American Marine who [presumably] did such an ugly thing, laughing as he threw that little puppy over the edge of a very high cliff!

An old blogger buddy from long ago--who was part of a forum when we were all at our dial-up ISP together sent a link to the nicest video I've seen and listened to for.....well, a really long time! It's so cute and sentimental and sort of made my eyes dribble tears, too. It's wonderful !

It's got the .pps extension. But if you don't happen to have PowerPoint installed, it is a very simple thing to download it and be ready for any other video/audio "movies" that may come your way. Anyway, here's the link to PowerPoint if you don't already have it downloaded. --- http://tinyurl.com/yfyrhj

So, here's the link.....I just upgraded my PowerPoint Viewer from my old 2003 version all the way up to the latest which is "2007". Wheeeee, such a deal! Hah. Oh, the music is pretty neat, too. And I discovered, while waiting for the show to get going and s-l-i-d-e (it took too long between images to suit me), that just a wee little tap of your forefinger on your mouse (left) will make the picture move to the next image ........
And this is the link to the slideshow (don't forget, speakers on!) --- DogsAndPeople.pps

I really, really hope whoever stops by and sees this will get themselves over to that wonderful video......if you like dogs, there's no way you wouldn't love this.
