When you love a dog you love without reference. He sees that now. He sees so many terrains at once, blind though he may be. Walking in a cozy downtown neighborhood of Ithaca, New York, he feels the country just over the next hill; the sky; the threadbare houses. He feels the lights left on beside the midnight windows. Everything is about love. The streets and the daze of minutes.
And his dog looks up at him. She wants to know if he knows where he's going. But she's also in love. She loves her strange man. Loves the intricate tune their feet make together. She hears what they sound like as they move. They make the sound of the first horse. Corky dog can remember. All dogs remember.
