George is a puppy who finds it hard to refrain from doing what is forbidden. Sometimes he can restrain himself, other times less so. This is a light and amusing tale about choosing between right and wrong, and the ability to make things right even if they have gone terribly wrong.

general“If you believe breaking is possible, believe fixing is possible” (Rabbi Nachman of Breslov)
It is not always easy to refrain from crossing the boundaries dictated by our environment. The principle of free will, and the ability to choose between right and wrong, is fundamental in Judaism. Every person may decide what action to take, and which to avoid. And if our actions prove to have been a mistake, we may regret them, and learn our lesson never to repeat them. That is how we mend our ways, and learn to become better people.
The story about George the puppy, who loves digging in dirt, digging in trash, and chasing Cat, reminds us of the experiences of many babies and toddlers, who are often attracted to all that is forbidden to them. Parents, much like Harris, have an important role to play: guiding their children to distinguish between right and wrong; and teaching them their boundaries, with tremendous love and determination, never losing their sense of humor.
