The Friendship of Animals

“It is a hundred years and three and fifty since I came out of the egg.”
- Roäc, son of Carc

Roäc the raven has some good advice for the dwarves in the mountain: “If you will listen to my counsel, you will not trust the Master of the Lake-men, but rather him that shot the dragon with his bow… he is a grim man but true.”  Thorin’s greed and pride will get the better of him – he should have paid more heed to the bird.

Humans and animals may see the world differently, but we may find that we have much to learn from them…

Nova: Animal Odd Couples
“It’s time to challenge the notion that only humans form lasting friendships.” 

There may come a time when humanity – amidst its endless, wild dervish-dance of decadence – will be grateful for the simple, if enigmatic, friendship of animals.
