I consider myself more of an animal person than a people person. In fact, I tend to prefer the company of animals over humans about 99.9999% of the time. “Animals are not jerks; if they do something, they have a good reason for it,” I stated one day. “Why did Doodle bark at me then?” Mama asked. The only person the pittie-mix has ever barked at is Mama. “Because you undoubtedly deserved it,” I replied. “Animals are so much better than people. I think I just really don’t like people.” “Now, baby,” my uncle began. “Don’t be like that. Animals are wonderful and love us, but we need people.” “No, we don’t,” I said.
