“There is a movement in our culture today that equates strength, especially but not only manly strength, with exploiting whatever power one has over others - be it physical strength, elite social standing, or financial prowess - at the expense of those who are weaker. This surely is a brutal morality - a "dog eat dog" attitude to life that ill becomes people or their canine friends. But there is another concept of strength, and that is the power to help the weak - to support those who are less able to fend for themselves. I'm not a religious person but I honor and respect the great spiritual leaders who over the millennia have taught that we find our greatest strength when we aid the weakest among us.” Strength Book:Dog Is Love: Why and How Your Dog Loves You Source: Dog Is Love: Why and How Your Dog Loves You
