I was on Loch Lomond today and as a mother duck sailed by with a bunch of ducklings in her stride, a vicious dog that was off his lead for some reason, seemed to be edging forward into the water to grab a duckling. The mother duck swam forward and made some nasty noises to frighten the dog of the scent of the young ones. I was stunned at the mother's bravery.

I was reminded of the Rudyard Kipling quote where he wrote the following,

"God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers."
