We can't really tell if this is deliberate or purely driven by instinct. If it is choreographed, then it has got to be the most adorable piece of photography taken by a digital camera. If it is driven by instinctive behavior, the cat took shelter under her friend's towering ears.

All it takes is for the dog to run out of food and patience -or both - to let his feral desires take over. At the end of the day, it all comes down to how peaceful you were before hunger and war, because this will carry over into the more peaceful days. From what this picture tells us, the dog was well behaved both in the times of war and in times of peace.
