Tiny nuggets of wry observations in haiku form by an animal lover. Okay, to be honest, more than a few frustrated observations by this same animal lover. Yes, indeed, there is a pile of parental advice to these dogs and cats--which the creatures completely ignore. Then, of course, the cats and dogs must butt in with their own opinions, also spoken in haiku style. All delightfully decorated with animal art by Roxanna Groves.

These poetic pieces are based on the human spirit, which is the realisation that underneath the obvious, there is something deeper going on, a connection that is felt yet is easily overlooked. The human spirit can be explored and discussed in a general way, but most importantly, it is a profound aspect of ourselves that should be celebrated, because despite our differences, we know that in spirit, we are all one. Each nation, each culture, has something...
