Forty years ago, The Beatles asked the world a simple question: they wanted to know where all the lonely people came from. My latest theory is that at the end of the day, all we really have is ourselves and nothing can make you feel lonelier than that. Four-hundred years ago, another well known English guy had an opinion about being alone, John Dunn. He thought we were never alone. Of course, it was fancier when he said it. “No man is an island entire unto himself.” Boil down that island talk and he just meant that all anyone needs is someone to step in and let us know we’re not alone. And, who’s to say that someone can’t have four legs? Someone to play with, or run around with, or just hang out.
