Insights from Chapter 1
#1
I took my dog to the vet, who found that he had a violent cough. The vet decided to do an X-ray to see if something was stuck in his windpipe. The nurse gave him a shot to knock him out, because he was not a good boy and did not want to behave.
#2
I had always wanted to believe in something like dogs bringing out the best in us, but I couldn’t picture it with an old, slow, easy dog close by. It would make me ashamed of myself.
#3
I was surprised to see my brother, Speck, outside the cabin. He was bouncing in place, waiting for me to catch up. I followed him around a sharp dogleg that hid the cabin from the road. The car, an old import, had backed into the driveway, its engine idling. I heard people laughing inside the car.
#4
I dragged the dog up the drive, across the yard, and up the steps. I lost a shoe, and could not get it back. I was wheezing, croaking, by the time I made it to the door. The dog still wanted to fight somebody, and ran crazily around the cabin.
#5
The dog was fine when I got him back, but I wanted to know if he would ever be the same again. I told him he would get better if he would take his medicine and not just lick all the peanut butter off the pill and spit it out on the kitchen floor.
