Let's Play

Revisit the amazing photos of a sled dog at play with a polar bear, taken by Norbert Rosing, at American Public Media’s Speaking of Faith website (link to the SoundSeen slideshow “Animals at Play”). It’s part of a presentation by Stuart Brown, director of the National Institute of Play, which promotes pleasurable, purposeless play for it’s own sake. Brown and others at the institute believe that play, like nutrition and sleep, is a central element in determining your health, well-being, creativity and intelligence. Since living with a dog is an open invitation to play, it’s just one more way they make our lives better.
