Being Free - Chats With Eve

Eve:  Mama, do humans ever have to live apart from other humans and not see other humans?

Mama:  Well, I guess if you are in prison on death row it would be that way.

Eve:  Yeah, but the people there did bad stuff right?

Mama:  Yes.  Why are you asking?

Eve:  I was trying to think why sometimes dogs can't be together.  Did they do something bad too?

Mama:  Now Eve, you know that the dogs here are only kept apart if they are sick or if they are not able to be nice with other dogs.  You wouldn't want to get hurt would you?

Eve:  I don't mean here Mama.

Mama:  Everybody has their own way of doing things and their own reasons.  We just think that dogs, just like people, are meant to live together.   We volunteers love watching you all play together, chasing each other around in the play area, napping all curled up together.  We would miss all that if the dogs were kept separate.

Eve:  I feel bad for dogs who can't play together mama.

​Mama:  Me too Baby Girl, me too.
