Why this must be read:
House doesn't like dogs. With that one premise, this fic develops a whole new side of House by showing his reactions to a stray dog that settles itself in front of his apartment. This is House: zero tolerance, zero patience, always after an interesting puzzle, and not quite entirely heartless. Look forward to tight writting and sharp insights.
As a side-note, this was written before the episode in which House took on Hector.
House doesn't like dogs.
It's nothing deeply personal, nothing linked to deeply buried childhood trauma and, despite the supposedly astute observations certain people may have made in the past, it has very little to do with their desperate air of devotion, the slavish need to please and the promise of unending, unconditional love. It has a lot to do with campylobacter jejuni, toxoplasmosis and seventeen other deeply unpleasant and potentially life-threatening illnesses House can name off the top of his head, but naturally he realises that this far more prosaic explanation provides less fodder for psychological insight than the former.
