"Why did I love Brenin? I would like to think-and here I must lapse again into metaphor.that our dogs call out to something in the deepest recesses of a long-forgotten part of our soul. Here there dwells an older part of us-a part of us that was there before we became apes. This is the wolf we once were.
This wolf understands that happiness cannot be found in calculation.
It understands that no truly significant relationship can ever be based on a contract.
First there is loyalty.
And this we must respect though the heavens fall.
Calculation and contracts always come afterwards-
as the simian part of our soul follows on from the lupine."
