As I've been sheltered in place for the last six weeks I've been contemplating how we all see each other as human beings. I'm a little worried that this social distancing will not be good for us and our human connections to our neighbors and communities will suffer. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do as we are currently living it. The future is yet to be seen. So, staying home has been great for our four-legged furry family members. I'm sure they are a bit confused and pretty darn tired as they are not getting as many of their day time naps. I'm sure they are loving every minute of it and I'm sure enjoying my new doggy connection with my dog. She hasn't had this many daily walks ever! As I look at my dog I started to think wouldn't it be nice if us humans could look at each other they way our dogs look at us. They are blind to color and race. They see us as "humans", why can't we see each other the same way? You watch the news and all they do is bring up race for everything. The more they bring it up, the more it propagates it. When we as human can see each other as fellow humans, then maybe racism can be a true aspect of our past. I so strongly believe that everyone should be treated equal and that can only happen if we see each other through dogs eyes (no color or race). Think how happy your dog is to see you, 100% of the time. You are always welcomed with excitement and a tail going a million miles per hour, they are almost overwhelmed with excitement. Shouldn't we all treat and greet each other the same way. California is a very diverse state and the diversity is what makes it great. There are many mixed race families which are forced to pick a race when they or their children have to fill out legal and non legal forms. This is absolutely ridiculous, all the race questions should be removed from all forms so we can all just be individual unique beautiful human beings. People should not be forced to choose. Lets start a movement of "I see through dogs eyes, do you?"
