Bear Meets Puppy

One of my first posts way back when was titled Bear Meets Bear. I described how I was a stocky hairy fellow and told the tale of how I saw my first bear in the wild.

Recently I posted another entry called Son of Spunky. In that piece, I stretched the boundaries of an environmental blog and wrote about our new Jack Russell puppy named Abe.

Well, the two are meeting in this short entry. Below is evidence that a picture can say a thousand words. The husband came to bed one night and saw this scene.

He had to capture it for posterity and -- with a huge amount of trepidation -- I share it with you. I think it shows something about the bond that humans can have with animals.

And in some overly simplistic way, it demonstrates why I am an environmentalist.
