Ever wondered how puppies find their way
home, crisscross in a new and bizarre world
with eyes and ears that are basically closed—
run by selfish, belligerent and heartless leaders
and sickening and sly fans of wars and conceit—
who, themselves, hardly step into battlefields
yet keep on pushing off other precious people’s
sons and daughters to the frontlines to fight or die
for them? How do brand-new puppies move around
in this crazy world? They make use of their nose since
their brains are built to scrutinise and utilise smells.
Puppies smartly make use of millions of scent receptors.
Perhaps humans should make use of their 86 billion
neurons— the biggest number of any primate— to say
enough is enough, we see and smell wars that we don’t need.
