Here is the "permission" note. the front....


And here is the inside giving me permission to
share his insight into the minds of chickens.



So, here is his answer...Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?
by Dean Koontz

Who knows why chickens do anything? They are mysterious and deep-thinking creatures who function on a level far beyond our own. We are to them as toads are to us, and we can never hope to grasp the world as chickens see it any more than a toad can hope to work complex algebraic equations. Most chickens disdain our intellectual pretensions, despise our television programs, and mock our popular culture. We have nothing in common with them, except that they, too, are beginning to wonder if Madonna is really all that interesting. If we ponder the meaning of any chicken's actions, including those of the one that crossed the road, we will only be filled with despair at our inadequate analytic and perceptive abilities in the face of their greatness

It isn't from one of his books, it is from "Most Frequently Asked Questions" he sent out with a signed copy of his book "a big little life" on his dog Trixie. I wrote and told him about our dog Spartacus. And I was surprise to get a hardcover version of the book that he inscribed with the following blurb:



He is referring to the letter I wrote him, in which I told him of my husband's idea that "just maybe" The Holy One allows some fallen angels, to redeem themselves by coming to earth as "helpers" of mankind. In the form of different types of animals, dogs for sure. Since some are just too smart to be a regular dog.
