[00:12.81]Two weeks after my arrival fox died just after sunset
[00:21.63]I was stretched out on the bed when he approached
[00:24.06]And tried painfully to jump up he wagged his tail nervously
[00:31.50]Since the beginning he hadn't touched his bowl once
[00:36.48]He had lost a lot of weight
[00:40.29]I helped him to settle on my lap
[00:43.20]For a few seconds he looked at me
[00:46.83]With a curious mixture of exhaustion and apology
[00:52.68]Then calmed he closed his eyes
[01:00.33]Two minutes later he gave out his last breath
[01:06.93]I buried him beside the residence
[01:10.11]At the western extremity of the land
[01:12.84]Surrounded by the protective fence
[01:15.84]Next to his predecessors
[01:19.11]During the night a rapid transport
[01:22.14]From the central city dropped off an identical dog
[01:26.91]They knew the codes and how to work the barrier
[01:30.15]I didn't have to get up to greet them
[01:33.21]A small white and ginger mongrel
[01:35.22]Came toward me wagging its tail
[01:38.82]I gestured to him
[01:40.26]He jumped on the bed and stretched out beside me
[01:46.89]Love is simple to define
[01:49.68]But it seldom happens in the series of beings
[01:55.68]Through these dogs we pay homage to love
[02:01.56]And to its possibility
[02:06.54]What is a dog but a machine for loving
[02:12.15]You introduce him to a human
[02:14.04]Being giving him the mission to love
[02:20.13]And however ugly perverse
[02:24.78]Deformed or stupid this human being might be
[02:31.20]The dog loves him the dog loves him
[03:04.92]The dog loves him
