> The Learned English Dog is explaining his particular "Provisions for
Survival" in a world less fantastic than the one to which Dragons and
Unicorns are exiled.
> Dogs learned, as a matter of survival among men, to be like men (or to at
least be those things that men like about themselves)so as not to be eaten
by men. 
>  It is not a pleasant view of dogs...somewhat more cynical and
manipulating than we want to believe of our "best friend".
>  Dogs, in this light, make a Stalin of all men.
