A dog waits patiently in the driver's seat of a car. Clearly skilled in diplomacy, this good pup waits patiently to make a strategic difference.

Two long-haired brown dogs relaxing on the sand. They share strong connections, evident through playfulness and an absence of personal space.
Teaching people, not content or tools, builds lasting connections and aligns values. Can the human element save the humanities?
