I recently finished another excellent short story from the book I was reading. "After I Fell into the River and Before I Drowned" gives a first person perspective of a dog. He races with other dogs not to win, but so they can run faster together. Others don't share his opinion.
One of my favorite moments came from his observation of human conversation. He could listen, but stopped a long time ago when he decided they say nothing. Later, he decides they are angry because of what they don't know.
Smart dog. Too bad, well, read the bloody title.
