“When I tried to envision how my dogs would react to a system where they spent two-fifths of the year locked up in the sort of cages used to fly animals in the baggage compartment of airplanes, the first-month-of-gestation solution suddenly no longer seemed all that great.”

What matters far more — so much more than chemistry or ancestry — is that precious bond, that reassurance that they won’t let you down.”
