Same Dog

Do you get the dog?

Same Dog

Your dog dies at fourteen. A company offers a clone: same genes, same breed, same markings, raised from a puppy. It won't remember you. It won't know the walk to the park or the sound of your car. But it will look up at you with that face.

Do you get the dog?

Then ask

  • Would you give it the same name?
  • If you'd say yes to a dog and no to a person, what's the difference?
  • Fifteen years later, which one are you telling stories about?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
