Human-dog = metaphor

This was such a cute story. I thought it was gonna be weird because of the whole human-dog thing, but reading it completely changed my mind; this is a metaphor to owning a pet. Animals are animals just like humans are animals , owning an animal is like raising a teen, a child, a toddler—they grow, and you can’t expect any less from them . It can go either direction via pet or baby: if you can’t commit to a living thing, why have it? It’s a beautiful short story that deserves more attention
