Lonely Dog
    Once there was a man who had a large dog. But he was away on business most of the time so the dog sat there lonely day after day.
    Finally his neighbors called the police saying it was cruelty to animals.

    Moral : People don’t care about a pig or steer being slaughtered but dogs, cats and some birds are treated differently. But does this mean a dog is cleverer than a pig or is it just more cute? And what about seals? Are they cute? Or is it all randomness?
