The categories for subjects are part of the problem. I have stressed kin making and family membership but rejected all the names ot human kin for these dogs, especially the name "children." I have stressed dogs as workers and commodities but rejected the analogies of wage labour, slavery, dependent ward, and nonliving property. I have insisted that dogs are made to be models and technologies, patients and reforms, consumers and breedwealth, but I am needy for ways to specify these matters in non-humanist terms which specific difference is at least as crucial as continuities and similarities across kinds.
