β¦ Synopsis
MANβS BEST FRIENDβOR SEVEREST CRITIC?
A first ο¬ight to a distant star is a tediously long and exceedingly dangerous experiment β¦ really too much to ask of any reasonable man. But why use a reasonable man anywayβif there was a reasonable dog available?
And there was in the form of a dog bred just for that purposeβa dog raised biogenetically to the intelligence level of a human being, able to think, to communicate, to transmit back what people wanted to know about the planets circling Sirius.
What was not realized in advance was that a dog trained to think for people may also start thinking for its own best interests too β and that perhaps Sirius was not known as the Dog Star for nothing
