Nietzsche's Dog - The Gay Science


Aphorism 312

My Dog.

I have given a name to my pain, and call it "a dog,"- it is
just as faithful, just as importunate and shameless,
just as entertaining, just as wise, as any other dog - and
I can domineer over it, and vent my bad humor on it, as others
do with their dogs,servants, and wives.

What does this mean??
It is far more than a reflection on dog-ownership.
This is a N. test... what does it mean.
I know... do you??
