I'll be more blunt and say I'll use this book to beat to death anyone who tries arguing the poor or destitute shouldn't have a companion.
Image of the book "My Dog Always Eats First: Homeless People & Their Animals" by Leslie Irvine. The cover shows a man, presumably unhoused, who is tenderly holding his dog as a veterinary services person, mostly of frame, examines them.

This was Natasha. I inherited her when my mom died three years ago. Natasha was, until the end when FCD began to destroy her, a loud, wonderful cat and it hurt so much to say goodbye to her.
An old, sleeping black cat.

After years without a win, Alpine manages to avoid its bad luck and come in first at Fuji. Peugeot came second, their best yet, and impressive after a miserable start to the season. #wec

One of those unfortunate once-in-a-blue-moon incidents where the Heart of Racing Hypercar (007) slams into their own GT3 (009). Absolute shame considering how the 007 was tearing up the track. #wec
Corner of the Fuji race track with the Heart of Racing Hypercar spinning of the track, its front edge torn up, and the same team's GT3 car also going off track in a plume of smoke while other Hypercars and GT3s pass by.
