I don't know what the dog is thinking. I never said I did.

Here's what separates me from you, so pay attention.

It's comforting to me, to hope that the dog is thinking something about th person he was charged with serving, at that moment. It's not something I can prove, it's not tangible, but it's hopeful and uplifting to consider the possibility.

You just see a dog who felt like taking a load off.

I like what it triggers in me. I feel sorry for what it doesn't trigger in you.

Same thing that happens to each of us when we look at an ultrasound of an unborn baby. I see a miracle. You see nothing worth wasting emotional energy over, which was the title of that Slate hit piece.

Devoid of soul. Horrifying.
