Animals make great literature even greater: from Toto to Wilbur to the three little kittens who lost their mittens.
Wanda's Wish
She stared out the rain-soaked windows of her train car as she zipped through woods and fields lit by a dim grey light. A distinct feeling of dread hung over her - but not the usual blanket of discomfort she usually felt, it was a more smothering dread that she could feel deep into her bones. Along with the dread came the guilt.

The Lion's Shadow is a Lamb
There is no bravery that compares to that of a lion. You know this intuitively if you ever meet one. From the long golden mane that billows like an imperial cloak, the deep eyes that seem to take in their surrounding’s with a sense of ownership and the indiscernible tilt to the head as if adorned by a regal crown. But there is one lion that is the bravest of them all. The lion of the Wilde Fare Forest. He had an air about him. The way he moved shore footedly across the forest carpet with a sense of grandeur and royalty reminded one of a king.

Listen to Your Dog
Listen To Your Dog By Doug Caldwell Chapter One “I guess the most surprising thing we’ve found to date, is how much some dogs swear. When they are excited or upset with something they begin with a river of cussing that becomes more animated the angrier they get. We can now filter that cussing out once the dog’s basic vocabulary and emotional triggers are captured in memory, but it takes a few hours of use for the software to learn these patterns for that to happen, and the higher the cuss filter is set, the longer it takes the software to learn. So at first we recommend the filter be as low as possible to make it easier.”

Today I Won't Chase
Have you ever experienced something so powerful that fighting against its compelling attraction just isn't on the menu much less on the plate? That's how my demon has controlled me but by gosh this will be the year that I regain the reign over my own palace of self! The chase doesn't just haunt my waking hours it's penetrated my subconscious like a Japanese Katana vertically parsing a bamboo shoot. This affected my sleep and frankly pilfered its regenerative abilities. I always playback a dream that reoccurs the way an 80s rom-com on HBO does, it begins with me running through the forest naked, inches shy of the ground, four puffy paws to the floor. I'm so close to the prairie dog that's breaking our path that I can hear its heartbeat thumping like a bass drum, leading our dance through the foliage. A flash appears deep starboard, pushing the limits of my periphery, I can make out an awe striking bright ruby beam of light. The prairie dog breaks right but I maneuver quickly to the port side following the crimson beast as if I'm its next cart on a train. I can't win the fight, it even forces me to defy my own instinct.

Dizzy the Pig Dreams Big
There once was a pig named Dizzy. All two feet seven pink inches of Dizzy loved all the things that pigs do. He loved to roll in the mud. He loved eating all kinds of food. And most of all, he loved dreaming about things he had never done.
