5
John Grogan
Dogs are a really amazing eye opener for us humans because their lives are compressed into such a short period, so we can see them go from puppyhood to adolescence to strong adulthood and then into their sunset years in 10 to 12 years. It really drives home the point of how finite all our lives are.
6
George MacDonald

It's interesting to take a look at people who deal with prejudice on a daily basis - it's been a real eye opener for me.
