Then the gun went off. Have you ever seen any living thing get shot? I doubt it. I hadn’t, either, until just then. Nothing similar had ever come within the compass of my experience before. Absolutely nothing. I live in a crappy city. There’s no need to worry about the violent death of animals in a city. And it was violent, in the worst sense of the word. Maybe the relative helplessness of the animal made it more disgusting: it had no understanding of its situation. Either before or after the shot—which converted it into something inanimate, except for a few final quivers of life. The dog jerked and fell, legs splayed, like it had run into some invisible obstruction. The howls of enraged pursuit stopped. It sobbed. You could hear a light glug of escaping fluid, a sucking whistle, undercutting its moans. Other dogs began barking, in sympathy with their fallen comrade or whatever. All over the immediate vicinity.
