Episode 299 – The Whimper of the Wild

In last month’s commentary I wrote about the common belief that post-natal care fulfilled only physical needs, primarily those for food and warmth. Shortly after I uploaded that podcast I saw this news clip about a neonatal puppy who was rescued who wasn’t. That is, the animal wasn’t a puppy. It’s also possible that he or she wasn’t in need of rescuing, although that might not be the case now.

However, the topic of this podcast isn’t a rant about this form of human spring fever. It’s about that generic smooshy-faced newborn conformation and how beautifully functional it really is.
