Summary

This quote suggests that noble dragons, beings of great power and dignity, have a unique perspective on friendship. Unlike humans, who often cherish and value their friends, dragons do not have the concept of friendship. The closest they can come to forming a connection with another being is through an enemy who poses a constant challenge and remains alive. It implies that dragons, due to their superior nature, do not experience or desire the emotional bonds of friendship but instead thrive on competition and adversaries.

A pet store is a celebration of dogs' existence and an explosion of options. About cats, a pet store seems to say, 'Here, we couldn't think of anything else.' Cats are the Hanukkah of the animal world in this way. They are feted quietly and happily by a minority, but there's only so much hoopla applicable to them.
