...undoubtedly consider intransigence backed by moral repugnance to be a tempting position. But that is precisely the attitude that has predominated at university after university, and always with the same result--emotions fly while everything else stands still.

We should make ourselves aware of the dog's entire situation, and then set it up so that his doing it on the paper is consonant with his existence as he knew...
