Overheard in Lembongan, Bali, some years ago, “Dogs must be very happy here.”
This was an occasion for me to reflect on cultures that embrace reincarnation. Maybe our spirits float into the celestial species assignment machine, which tallies our life and automatically drops our souls into the next appropriate marmot, wildebeest, Dali Lama, or puppy birthing.
I’m reserving judgment on that one, but dogs do seem to gravitate toward abundant food and evolved people. So with Sagada .
I humbly offer some dog selfies. They’re people too, after all.
