Otterly Awesome Times Saturday Edition March 28, 2015

John Steinbeck, author of classics including The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men, and Cannery Row, was born in nearby Salinas, where there is now a National Steinbeck Center in his honor. Therefore, it seems appropriate to begin our day with a quote from Native Son, John Steinbeck:

“I've seen a look in dogs' eyes, a quickly vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts.”
