Dogs are one of those things that make you happy and make you wonder.

We are not strangers to ourselves, we only try to be.
Night has patterns that can be read less by the living than by the dead.
This may be the primary purpose of dogs: to restore our sense of wonder and to help us maintain it, to make us consider that we should trust our intuition as they trust theirs and to help us realize that a thing known intuitively can be as real as anything known by material experience.
The world needed a little Evil, so Good had something to compare itself to, but you couldn't let it think it had the right-of-way on the road and an invitation to dinner.
