i look at this squirrel and i just get this feeling as if this squirrel is actually me

“And suddenly, I looked at the bull. He had this innocence that all animals have in their eyes, and he looked at me with this pleading. It was like a cry for justice, deep down inside of me. I describe it as being like a prayer - because if one confesses, it is hoped, that one is forgiven. I felt like the worst shit on earth.”  This photo shows the collapse of Torrero Alvaro Munera, as he realized in the middle of the his last fight… the injustice to the animal. From that day forward he became an opponent of bullfights.

Many thanks to MauserGirl for sharing her art. I love GSDs and I love infographics. :)

Interestingly, the phrase “black sable” is often debated at length by GSD folks ….is this GSD a black sable, etc. I think of the term black or dark as just a descriptor or modifier for sable. I sometimes use the phrase melanistic sable to describe Bosco. However, I don’t lose any sleep over the dark sable vs. black sable vs. melanistic sable debate; frankly, it’s become an Internet marketing term commonly used by shady breeders (ie. EXTREME Rare Black Sable GSD for Sale!!).
