BARKEOLOGY: DOG HAIKU by Xanthe Reese Lichtenstein

Imagine a dog’s world. They run, jump, play, eat, nap. But can they write poetry? Why not? A whopping 97%% of dog owners say that they talk to their dogs and another 87%% believe that their dogs talk back to them. In a world often void of genuine love, our relationships with dogs remind us to stay connected and alert to feelings beyond facts. Through their whimpers, yelps, and barks, they tune us into a dimension that makes us believers in a dog’s ability to write haiku.
