Reading: Watchers by Dean Koontz 128-170

SUMMARY:
    On page 128, the story has moved back to Tony and the dog. They are sitting back at Tony's house, and Tony is about to give the dog a bath. Tony gathers up the tub and all the cleaning necessities and comes out to the back yard. He leaves the dog outside and goes in to grab a beer, and when he comes back out he is amazed to see that the hose is now in the tub and filling it up with water. Tony looks at the dog and tries to make sense of what just happened. He tells the dog to go and turn the faucet as he did before but he does not move. The dog then sees a butterfly and chases is around, but ends up running face first into a tree. Tony is confused as to how this dog can seem to have human characteristics but can instantly turn back into a dog. He gives the Dog a bath and decides to call the dog Einstein. Einstein and Tony go back into the living room, and Tony begins watching TV. As he is doing so he sees Einstein at the book shelf and hears him barking. When he comes to Einstein the dog looks up at the books and acts as if he wants them. Tony grabs one of the books off the shelves, a Dickens novel, and places it infront of Einstein. Einstein sniffs it up and down as if learning the plot and then places the book back. Then Einstein continues picking out books on the shelf, and Tony continues grabbing them and letting Einstein sniff them. Tony is building with suspense because he feels that the dog is trying to tell him something, and that he is on the urge of a great connection; however, the dog becomes frustrated with Tony as he cannot understand what the dog is attempting to do.
    Meanwhile, Clem had received a thrid job to kill another Doctor. He wonders why he has killed only doctors but still accepts the job. Clem had more diffuculty getting into this thrid house because the doctor had taken safety measures to protect his house from intrusion, but Clem is a professional so he uses a glass cutter to open the back door from the inside. Once in the house he looks around for anything that could make sense of a connection between the killings he had committed earlier that night. He finds nothing though and goes into the doctors bedroom. Clem puts the gun to the doctor's head and forces him out of bed into the bathroom. Clem binds the doctor up an places him in the bathtub. Then Clem tells the doctor to explain to him if he knows the other two doctor's he had killed, and that he had the choice to die instantly or to be dragged out on death for up to 6 hours. The doctor explains that the three of them had worked together in Banodyne Labratories in Orange County. Clem asked what they had done there and the doctor proceeding in telling him all about the experiments and the dogs.
RESPONSE:

Wow, a lot has happened in this section. The dog story is by far my favorite like I have said before because it's just so intriguing. But now at the end my curiosity is burning since a connection has finally been made between the characters Clem and Tony. The dogs from the experiments, which are not explained yet, must be the dog that Tony is now in possession of. Now I just want to know what the experiments were and how this dog and the mystery creature in the forest will tie all together in this web of chaos.
