Each smallest act of kindness, reverberates across great distances and spans of time --affecting lives unknown to the one whoโs generous spirit, was the source of this good echo. Because kindness is passed on and grows each time itโs passed until a simple courtesy becomes an act of selfless courage, years later, and far away. Likewise, each small meanness, each expression of hatred, each act of evil.
Dean KoontzEvery world has dogs or their equivalent, creatures that thrive on companionship, creatures that are of a high order of intelligence although not the highest and that therefore is simple enough in their wants and needs to remain innocent. The combination of their innocence and their intelligence allows them to serve as a bridge bewtween what is transient and what is eternal, between the finate and the infinate.
