Man and his dog. Two neurotic beings. For the dog above all animals is capable of being domesticated, and seems to live with the same love-guilt-rage-sorrow axis as man. For the dog like man has two nervous systems—shall we call them ''dog''eostasis and ''master''iostasis? The dog is not only a dog, he is also his master. Biochemically, his master has gotten into him. That is why we have such contempt for dogs. We say What a dog, or A dog’s life. It is because we see ourselves in our tragic contradiction, cowed by society. Dog is God spelled backwards.
