By Stephen Dafoe

Morinville – A kitten stretches its paw far outside its cage, reaching out for some human contact. She purrs and then runs her flank along an offered hand, a show of appreciation for the attention being offered. In another room, Marlow leaps and tugs against his leash – not because he is a disobedient dog – but because he is happy in his hopes of making a new human friend.
