That is not to say, though, that Freddie de la Hay felt any inclination to reproach himself. The past for a dog is just that: the past. A dog sees no point in dwelling on things that have happened; the important thing is that they are not happening now. In that respect, they have something to teach us: we so often feel that then is now, and this leads us to prolong the suffering of yesterday into the suffering of today. Dogs do not do that.

With a final effort Freddie pushed himself up through the gradually widening opening above his head. He was free, and the sudden evening light made him blink in confusion. Without thinking, he set off across the field in which he found himself as fast as he could manage, giving several exalted barks as he did so. He did not stop until he reached the far side, where a thick hedge blocked further progress. He sat down momentarily, looked up at the sky, and then gave another bark before launching himself through a gap he had just spotted in the hedge.
