"It was really intelligent. Pilot taught me how to speak with animals..but this was more than just an animal. Usually when I talk to squirrels or birds they have simple things that they're thinking of..like gathering nuts or seeds. But this dog was talking about journeying with the humans. What it was like to be there with the humans. I guess they were there with the humans because the humans gave them food. I don't understand it, though...couldn't they just hunt for their own food?" She was confused by this, and it came through in her voice. Why couldn't the dogs be more like wolves? Dierdre had grown up knowing that someday she would have to support herself by catching prey. Did the dogs not have to live that way? Nothing would make her serve a human, not any kind of food. Even if it was really good tasting.
"It just seems really weird to me. I'm glad they're gone."
