I am often asked "Why do dogs have such a short life compared to a human?" And we've all heard variations on one 'dog year' being the equivalent to seven 'human years.' It made me wonder about the possibility of a trade, a way to keep an animal in our lives, a Faustian bargain in which, fearing the loss of a companion, a human would be prepared to give up one year, of their own life, in order to keep their dog for seven more years. More interesting, the option to 'steal' that year from the past, the present, or the future (perhaps a little too Christmas Carol) and the impact it might have on the human-animal relationship.
