Quotes by Seishū Hase (?)

“And yet, Yaichi was well aware that dogs had a special relationship to humans. Maybe it was God who sent them, or maybe Buddha. Who knew? But he knew they had been dispatched for the benefit of our foolish species.
They understood the human heart and were attuned to it in a way no other creature was.”
― Seishū Hase, The Boy and the Dog
