Dogs are pretty subservient - I wouldn't have thought that would mesh with your life philosophy.

My dog has barely been on a leash in about 8 years and I usually let him go where he pleases when we walk. But he mostly follows me around.

I usually keep the back door open and he occasionally wanders outside for a bit. The landlords used to complain but after seeing that he keeps to himself and doesn't wander off, they don't seem to care anymore.

Ät one place he would dig a hole and sit in it all day while the neighbors came around to pet him. He was kind of an apartment mascot.

He's old and blind now anyway so he barely gets off the porch. But I tried to make him as free as possible.

Sick of assholes who let their dogs run around neighborhoods without a leash, let their dogs bark endlessly without intervening, and leave dogshit on other people’s lawns. Dickheads.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.
