Interspecies love

Sophie Cunningham April 14

I try not to be too competitive with Overland, but I was pretty jealous about how many comments Jeff Sparrow's post on killer whales (orcas) got. So: take this, Overland. A touching story about whale-dog love. 'Everyone incorrectly knows how killer whales like to kill humans—well, at least when the humans keep them in tiny little pens. Apparently, though, out in the wild, killer whales do not like to kill dogs. As Jennifer Viegas reported recently at Discovery, whale researchers have noticed a "mysterious connection" between whales and dogs.'
