I am glad that someone wrote about their pet. I think that we sometimes forget that pets are a part of the natural world as well. I know that I love animals, and love playing with my ferret above most things. Warren(that's his name) is the most playful little bundle of fur under two punds that I have ever laid eyes on. When he wants to play he follows me around my apartment and bites my ankles, and then does a clumsy back roll to get away from my feet...some attempt to start a game of tag. "I do not see man versus nature, but rather man and nature as one" I think that that your statement that you see the world as "man and nature as one", is a truly noble view. You are right I think. We should not view ourselves as different, but as a part of a whole. I am not sure if you have any, but I would like to see some picture of Bruno. Maybe you could insert some in your paper? Overall, Bruno's tale was an excellent essay.
