Canon is Hyperbole and a Half
[The simple dog looks around. She senses that she is expected to do something. She sits down and stares ahead, utterly still. Then she slowly tilts her head. It tilts and it tilts until she flops over onto the ground. And then she tries tilting it some more. When that doesn't work she gets back onto her feet and wags her tail.
...No, no. That's not right.
She runs off and when she returns she has a ball. She drops it in front of her. She stares expectantly.
...No, that's not right either.
She starts walking in a circle. She walks and she walks until she is dizzy and yet she cannot stop walking. Several minutes elapse and then several more. Finally, she collapses. Was there something she was supposed to do?
Oh look, a ball!]
