I am jealous even of an average dog when he shows in his demeanor and wag of his tail that he is at home in the world, freely accepts that he belongs there, and has the courage to be fully present. Yes, when I see a dog like that, I am jealous. In short, the dog has no apprehension as to his worthiness or right to be totally equal and acceptable to all company – including me. And what is more, I muct prefer a dog like that rather than one slouching about, afraid of his own shadow, looking as if he should not have been born. A dog like that deserves our pity for in his one chance at life, he is miserable and doubts even his own validity as a living being.
