Should a character adopt a dog?
Zebediah:
Not entirely true. I got adopted by a dog once. And in an amazing non-coincidence, the dog's owner is now my wife.
The dog, alas, died a few years ago. :cry:
DSL:
What Zebediah said. Dogs are expert, tnough, at letting us two-legs think we're in charge. I'm pretty sure my dog spent a great deal of time wondering how smart I was.
For an entertaining take on the subject, look up "Into Your Tent I'll Creep," by Eric Frank Russell.
Is it cold in here?:
I forget the title but there's an Arthur Clarke story where the sole telepath on the alien ship makes contact with the minds of the dominant life form on Earth, reading their thoughts about how to manipulate humans by flattery and puppy dog eyes.

That's "Into Your Tent I'll Creep" and it's by Eric Frank Russell.

Does the story end with the telepath's suspicions silenced when he dies in a tragic "accident" tripped by a dog?
