He had been raised by air conditioning units since his parents abandoned him, sucking on the outlet pipes and extracting nutrients from the moisture in the ducts. He use to climb up and sleep in the extraction fan units during the day, and sneak down during the night when no-one was about to see him. While his air conditioning parents were unable to care for him in the traditional manner, they loved him and supported him in every way they knew how. I bring this up because of the recent developments in Chile where the young boy who was raised by dogs has just run away from his foster parent home. I really do think that often these young boys, while not having the normal comforts we take for granted, are simply far happier. I know that to us seeing Blowey cling to the side of a building sucking on a pipe just doesnt seem right, but for him it just seemed to make him happy. I think we can all take lessons from these young boys. Sage knows no wage nor any age.
