My mind raced. I then did what any Eurocentric professional would do. Dismiss the importance of the offending term. Anthropomorphism is not the issue here. But Rastaman have so much trial and tribulation, trouble never stops.
Dogs never stop barking.
It seemed to make sense. Late in the day, I decided to visit the nearest source of my problem, a nearby ketch belonging to Professor Helmut Von Bjorkvist. He owned a large Doberman and an island dog from Trinidad. Sure enough, the professor was on deck and the dogs were barking at anything that moved. I'm just waking up.
