Lupin only sees dogs from her wild point of view. McKinley shows her they can be helpful, kind, and resourceful, even if they are not as free as she is. To be really free, there are no laws or protection. But in a society, we need laws so that everyone stays safe. Do you think he made the right choice? Talk about it with your adult.
