Simba, My New Cherished Furry, Was One of the Few Reasons That Made My First Volunteering Program Bearable
Simba looks very much like the beautiful creature on the cover image. There was a good explanation for taking the picture. She didn’t seem to feel alright, but that’s a story for another time.

The Gym Dog Was Eventually Granted a Warm and Loving Home When I Started Losing Hope
Dear future Dad/Mom, I might not know you yet, but I already love you. A wise person once said it best and I share their feeling. I love you! You don’t even know me! Maybe… but if many can hate for no reason, I can love! My name is Arbia. I love playing with humans and giving them tons of free hugs and kisses. I’d be beyond grateful if you could adopt me, save me from the cruel streets where I risk being killed, or at least abused for the only crime of being a defenseless stray dog, every day! Dad/Mom/even better for double love Dad & Mom (or Dad & Dad or Mom & Mom): you may find me most of the time in front of the gym. I count on your humane nature and generous heart!

What Helps Secure People Form a Genuine Bond?
Current developments in “Attachment theory” teach us that true autonomy relies on feeling securely connected to other human beings. Current developments in the field of attachment science have recognized that bonded pairs, such as couples, or parents and children, build bonds that physiologically shape their nervous systems. Contrary to many Western conceptions of the self as disconnected and atomized, operating in isolation using nothing but grit and determination, it turns out that close-knit connections to others are in large part how we grow into our own, fully expressed, autonomous selves.” ― Nora Samaran, Turn This World Inside Out: The Emergence of Nurturance Culture
