tho i have to say one of my fav "people is people" moments of reaching out through history
is
these little clay dogs found in nineveh
buried as charms under a palace
each of them carved so lovingly, by a person that knows dogs, and looking like dogs that you can probably go find today looking the exact same
each of them inscribed with the quality of a good guard dog that people still prize today in good guard dogs
Loud is his bark!
Biter of his foe!

this guard dog of ancient mesopotamia is still with us!
Catcher Of The Enemy, still loved by humanity, still kept by humanity, still humanity's companion just as he was in 645 BCE.
