According to Buddha

No real difference is present among creatures: all are products of Prakriti and all are sustained by the same Underlying Divinity. Their seeming diversity is rooted in the unity of One Mind.

she hid it ’round corners and she hid it under beds
she killed it with kisses and from it she fled
with every bubble she sank with her drink
and washed it away down the kitchen sink
the dog days are over
the dog days are done
the horses are coming
so you better run
