"I don’t understand people. Maybe I don’t want to understand people."

I've been told by some folks who know me that I can read their minds. I know from my years in various businesses that I can, for the most part.

I'm pretty sure I can read animals too.

Just trust me on this. You're 100% right when you say you don't want to understand people. Animals (especially dogs) are a lot more pure and simple.

Of course there are exceptions in every group. But I've met a lot more mean people than mean dogs. And the mean dogs I've met, usually it was a person that made them that way.

I have *never* had an animal intentionally harm me.

People?

Damn near every day.
