On April 1, 2011, Kevin Makice (self-described at the time as an "Impoverished Ph.D. student at the Indiana University School of Informatics") published in Wired magazine his dog's account of family life. The cyber sophistication angle is his dog's paralleling of his life to that of the dog in Lost, a dog named Vincent. Since I never saw that television show, I have to hope I have appropriately savored the cuteness, because it is a very nice essay. Here is a good example:
It is a well-known fact that yellow Labrador retrievers are psychic. Vincent demonstrated this week after week on the show, including the flashback scenes where he was shoved into a luggage compartment of Oceanic Flight 815 when the humans again misinterpreted his warning that the plane would be ripped apart by a mystic magnetic force controlled by a spiritual archetype looking to fill an open position in the organization.
In the article French Fry Makice, reveals his family includes not just a few humans but also a "lazy beagle and a fascist cat." The article is entitled "Everything I Know about Humans I Learned from Vincent." Kind of makes me want to watch televison. (Not really.)
