Epilogue I have been asked to say a few words. I would be glad to oblige had not an accident of birth rendered me incapable of speech. However, I presume writing will do, as this is not a recording; if it were, I would have to decline the invitation. Thanks, but no thanks, I’d “say.” The main thing I’m thinking is that maybe I’ll get more walks now that this is finished. All that talk about neglected chickens and stones, but what about me? Sniffing is my life and I haven’t had enough. Maybe they think a stroll around the swimming pool in D.’s dinky back yard is enough; well, it’s not. So Ms. Rachel meets some interesting people in the park? That’s gravy in her life; their dogs are all I’ve got. Don’t get me wrong. I have no quarrel at all with Ms. Little. Sure, I’ve chased a few of her kind, but who hasn’t? If I could be born again, I wouldn’t mind at all coming back as one. I might learn to fly. But you know what? This “Who am I” question takes the cake. Maybe that’s what happens when you live too much in your head—you forget who you are. I mean I know already, I don’t have to ask. As for that ditsy professor, I could out-philosophize him any day. Consider this: One day a god happened to think of Man, just a fleeting thought, a bare hint of the possibilities, gone even before the god himself was fully aware of what had crossed his mind. But that instant, in the life of an ageless god who exists through all eternity, represented a thousand million years of life on earth, during which time Man crawled out of the sea, came down from the trees, evolved a mind, progressed in science and the arts, reached out to the stars, and would have usurped the authority of the god himself, had it not been such a fleeting thought. Now I ask you, what if that god had happened to think of Dog instead? See you in the park. 124
