How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #10
Dogs are not allowed to choose where they live; my fate would be decided by people. But I nonetheless felt torn inside, conflicted. (22.11)
As we showed in the first quote, rules are different when humans are involved. The dog doesn't think about things much when those "rules" make him feel needed. But when he doesn't feel needed, the dog is conflicted about his very existence. We can all relate.
