Dogs are very social animals, and they need human interaction. The more, the better! This is a hard time, and the viral photo of the bulldog reminds us of the importance of staying indoors, in a bid to flatten the curve. Let us continue social distance and self-quarantining, so these days end soon, and Big Poppa can go back to play!
