I used to sit upstairs sometimes just in the dark at night and hear the barks of the dogs through the window.

One would begin, echoing through the cold and still night air and then another would answer it and so it went on.

I found these communications to be a great comfort when I felt lonely as a child growing up and they gave me the feeling that I was a part of something far bigger than me.
