When dreams meet reality . . .
In fiction or in dreams, people and animals are often friends hanging out side by side; e.g. The famous Garfield comic strip, being portrayed as lazy and fat, loves to eat Lasagna and hates Mondays. Another famous novel "Northern Lights", known as "The Golden Compass," which is situated in a parallel universe where a person's soul resides outside the body in an animal-like form, and the girl Lyra meets a sapient armored Bear fighting the dark side. It is indeed interesting and it gives a different depth when animals are humanized in the stories, or in our case, in the works of art.
