Cost-free................................




































         Dogs do not judge, and their love is unconditional only because it has no conception of conditions.  From a dog, therefore, we can enjoy the kind of endorsement that requires no moral labour to earn it.  And this is what we see all around us:  the dwindling of human affection, which is always conditional and dependent on moral work, and its replacement by the cost-free love of pets.
