4)I believe in my dog.

5) "I believe in how he lives in the present. As my day fills with stress, crowded commutes and endless deadlines, I think of Duncan home alone. His day was probably boring, but he's ready to move right past it"

"I believe in his egalitarian treatment of everyone despite race, creed or appearance. He never pre-judges."

6)"Now, when my girlfriend comes over, I get up and run to the door to greet her like I learned to do from my dog."

2.)David Gessner
3.)Experience a Feeling of Wildness
4.)I believe in nature
5.)"I believe that these moments of death and life give us a reconnection to our primal selves, a reminder that there is something wilder lurking below the everyday, and that, having tasted this wildness, we return to our ordinary lives both changed and charged."

"So, while I'll continue to seek out wild places, I know I don't need to travel to the Amazon or Everest to experience the ineffable."
6.)"And it is where that I now bring my daughter Hadley for our daily walk, secretly hoping that the wild will rise up in her when she least expects it."
