"Dogs are not like cats, who amusingly tolerate humans only until someone comes up with a tin opener that can be operated with a paw. Men made dogs, they took wolves and gave them human things--unnecessary intelligence, names, a desire to belong, and a twitching inferiority complex.

Although they have the teeth to tear, it is by swish of tail and yearning eyes that they most easily get what they want."
