The quote also introduces a couple of important themes and symbols, namely the theme of evolution and the related symbol of opposable thumbs and dew claws. It demonstrates Enzo's fervor and charisma because even though his argument could be easily disproven with scientific facts, and even though he has an obvious bias for hoping that dogs are closely biologically related to humans, we understand where he is coming from emotionally.
This quote introduces the reader to Enzo's tendency to form his own theories based on the things he sees on television. Further, I believe that men have systematically bred the thumb out of certain lines of dog through an elaborate process called 'selective breeding,' simply in order to prevent dogs from evolving into dexterous, and therefore 'dangerous,' mammals." Enzo, p. "It is my opinion that the so-called dew claw, which is often snipped off a dog's foreleg at an early age, is actually evidence of a preemergent thumb. On the other hand, Enzo's desire to communicate and his hyperobservant abilities underscore the failure of human characters to communicate with one another. Enzo never intended to make Denny feel bad. But one of the unintended consequences is that Denny blames himself for being late coming home. In the context of this quote, Enzo has urinated on the floor and positioned himself lying in the urine so that Denny will come home and decide to euthanize him, to put him out of his misery. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it fails. Since Enzo is a dog, he cannot use language, so he relies on his actions to manipulate the outcomes of situations. These first lines of the novel immediately establish two of its predominant and closely related themes, gesturing and communication. And while I occasionally step over the line and into the world of the melodramatic, it is what I must do in order to communicate clearly and effectively." Enzo, p.
"Gestures are all that I have sometimes they must be grand in nature.
