They are much better at their job than any human, and I am much better than they are at killing food. Symbiosis at it's finest. I like to think I am the leader, but sometimes I wonder if Wyatt knows who's the boss.

Having raised and eaten pets, I can say the taste of their flesh differs considerably from that of other members of the same breed.
