Strongheart lead the way

Move over "Seabiscuit". I am pleasantly into a great read, "Rin Tin Tin." To continue yesterday's post,(Balto is correct spelling), I wish to point out that Strongheart (a silent film star of the 1920's ) led the way for anthropromorphism of the dog. ( Many canine stars preceded him and Peter the Great, another German shepherd followed him but he died tragically.) A caretaker of Strongheart developed a unified theory about humans and animals called Totality which allowed for a dog like Strongheart to teach human beings new meanings of "happiness, devotion, honor, individuality, loyalty, sincerity, love, life and God." Strongheart lives on. What people were doing, said J. Allen Boone of Strongheart, "was looking through a moving transparency on four legs, and seeing a much better universe than the one they had been living in." Doesn't this uplifting message starkly contrast with a phoney transformational pitch of 'hope and change' not long ago internalized by 21st century Americans? Man's best friend (not government)is still the dog.
