...at night he's still running.

A dog chooses to run over 150 km beside its owner. Not commanded. Not trained. Pure will—instinct overflowing into action.

For Nietzsche, this is life affirming itself: strength, loyalty, movement without justification.

The $DOG runs with life. The Penguin walks without meaning. One embodies the Will to Power. The other confronts the void without illusion.

Both reject the herd. Both reject obedience. Both act—not because they must, but because they are.
