Roaming the streets of Lisbon, you may come across simply stunning street art.
Those of Artur Bordalo, (1987), known to the general public named after Bordalo II,
are special: because from a distance they seem to be limited to reproducing the
figures of some animal, but approaching, meter after meter, reveal that are made
entirely with garbage and recycled items such as old tires and sofas.
They are scattered around the world, from United States to Thaiti.
What the street artist does with his works is a criticism of the consumer society, which
he builds, uses, empties and throws away without respecting the environment.
The wonders of nature, like animals, are then represented from precisely those
materials that can cause their destruction, in a references game that surprises
and makes you wonder.

′′ Question: Why do dogs live less than people
“Pregunta: ¿Por qué los perros viven menos que la gente?
Aquí está la respuesta:
Como veterinario, me llamaron para examinar a un perro de 13 años llamado Batuta.
La familia esperaba un milagro.
Examiné a Batuta y descubrí que estaba muriendo de cáncer y que no podía hacer nada...
Batuta estaba rodeado por su familia.
El niño Pedro parecía tan tranquilo, acariciando al perro por última vez, y me preguntaba si entendía lo que estaba pasando. En pocos minutos, Batuta cayó pacíficamente en un sueño para no despertar nunca más.
El niño parecía aceptarlo sin dificultad.
Oí a la mamá preguntándose ;- Por qué la vida de los perros es más corta que la de los seres humanos?
Pedro dijo: ′′ Sé por qué."
La explicación del niño cambió mi forma de ver la vida.
Él dijo :-" La gente viene al mundo para aprender a vivir una buena vida, como amar a los demás todo el tiempo y ser buena persona, eh?! Como los perros ya nacen sabiendo hacer todo esto, no tienen que vivir por tanto tiempo como nosotros." Entendido?
La moraleja de la historia:
Si un perro fuera tu maestro, aprenderías cosas como:
* Cuando tus seres queridos lleguen a casa, siempre corre para saludarlos.
* Nunca dejes pasar la oportunidad para salir a pasear.
* Permite que la experiencia del aire fresco y del viento en tu cara sea de puro éxtasis!
* Toma siestas, descansa.
* Estírate bien antes de levantarte.
* Corre, salta y juega diariamente.
* Evita ′′ morder ′′ cuando con solo un gruñido sería suficiente.
* En un clima muy caliente, bebe mucha agua y acuéstate bajo la sombra de un árbol frondoso.
* Cuando estés feliz, baila moviendo todo tu cuerpo.
* Disfruta de las cosas simples, de una larga caminata.
* Sé fiel.
* Nunca pretendas ser algo que no eres. Se auténtico!
* Si lo que quieres, está ′′enterrado ", búscalo, persiste hasta encontrarlo.
* Y nunca olvides:
Cuando alguien esté teniendo un mal día, quédate en silencio, siéntate cerca y suavemente hazlo sentir que estás allí.
′′ Question: Why do dogs live less than people
Here's the answer:
As a vet, I was called to examine a 13 year old dog named Batuta.
The family expected a miracle.
I examined Batuta and found out he was dying of cancer and couldn't do anything...
Batuta was surrounded by his family.
Little Pedro looked so calm, caressing the dog for the last time, and wondered if he understood what was going on. Within minutes, Batuta fell peacefully in a dream to never wake up again.
The child seemed to accept it without difficulty.
I heard the mom asking ;- Why is the dog life shorter than human beings ;-
Pedro said, ′′ I know why."
The child's explanation changed my way of seeing life.
He said :-" People come into the world to learn to live a good life, like loving others all the time and being a good person, eh?! As dogs are already born knowing how to do all this, they don't have to live for as long as we are." Understand?
The moral of the story:
If a dog was your teacher, you'd learn things like:
* When your loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
* Never pass up an opportunity to go for a walk.
* Allow the experience of fresh air and wind on your face to be pure ecstasy!
* Takes naps, rest.
* Stretch well before you get up.
* Runs, jumps and plays daily.
* Avoid ′′ biting ′′ when just a growl would be enough.
* In very hot weather, drink lots of water and lay under the shadow of a leafy tree.
* When you're happy, dance moving your whole body.
* Enjoy the simple things, a long walk.
* Be faithful.
* Never pretend to be something you're not. Be real!
* If what you want, it's '' buried ", look for it, persists until you find it.
* And never forget:
When someone is having a bad day, stay silent, sit close and gently make them feel like you're there.
