This is a beautiful recording of a lovely moment. What strikes me most in this clip is the peace emanating from both the little boy and the dog. It is but an elusive instant in the infinite history of time, but, for all they care, the world could be in flames. That one moment they share, nothing can take from them, it is all they have there and then. It will never be undone, it will never be any different, frozen as it is for all eternity. They are what they are, and they are no different. Peace comes not from striving and desiring, but from being—no conditions, no expectations, no questioning the past or querying the future. Life is what it is, and any relationship is unique because it involves unique individuals and unique conditions.
The magic of life lies not in living against, but in living with.

As much as I would like to credit the author of this clip, unfortunately, his or her name remains unknown to me. Thanks for allowing us to share this beautiful, private moment.

PS— At 1730 hrs GMT, 10 hours after I published my blog, I received a message from my Facebook friend Joeson Hsu in Taiwan with the information I had missed. Thanks, Joeson. The author of this movie is Ana, the mother of Herman, the little boy, and the dog is Himalaya. Thank you so much, Ana, for sharing with us. Indeed, communication is a will, not a question of language or species, and a relationship is a natural thing.

PPS from October 27, 2025—Meanwhile, Juan Cardoza uploaded the clip with all the information I had missed when I first published my blog on May 12, 2014, and this is the link I have now embedded in this blog.

It is adorable. They make it look so simple. Thank you for posting.
Yes, it is. Indeed, a relationship, as I write elsewhere, is a natural thing. It’s just us, adults of this species, Homo sapiens sapiens, that seem to have forgotten that.
