"'Pandora's Dogs' was the first story that I wrote after moving
from Boston to Pittsburgh. I had been wondering about the
creation of robot-pets, and also about possible futures in which
all mammals (other than humans) were extinct. It distresses me
to think how many strange and wonderful animals--from
rhinoceroses to elephants to types of bats--may be extinct in a
few decades."
