"To Build a Fire"
I've read this before and the second time through gave me more insight and I felt more emotion. The way he just layed down and accepted his fate was powerful and kind of scary. Could you do that? That's what I asked myself, but I guess killing the dog was his only option and it's sad how the dog just moves on the "next food and fire provider."

I always thought it was a bit chilling (no pun intended -- honest), since it seemed the dog knew where the nearest help was.

If they really do eat dogs in Asian countries, then I guess we're on the road to getting even. My Shih Tzu would probably just sit there and freeze to death with me I'm proud to say, so I won't be eating her for a snack.
