Silence of the Dogs

I slept well. I shouldn't be complaining about this place too much. Should be grateful for it. Had an interesting chat with a pet owner here. Her dog has been allowed to come with her for the adventure. Sometimes the dog is required to wear a muzzle. I think it's great that the dog can stay here. K. is obviously a gentle animal. Her owner said that using a muzzle draws a fear response from people. It made me think of The Painted Bird. At the start of this novel, the author describes a children's game where a bird is captured, painted and released back into its flock. The other birds instinctively kill the painted bird. The owner's own comparison was more fitting. She said K. looked liked Hannibal Lechtor from Silence of the Lambs. I guess muzzles are a safeguard for people who don't know dogs. Down at the SPCA I learned which breed is most likely to bite. Black Labs. Those happy, peppy Labs. And you know what dog is most likely to swallow children whole? A Saint Bernard.
