"Metzger-PlanetOfDolphins" - читать интересную книгу автора (Metzger Robert)


Herman stopped.

Pssst.

He slowly turned. There was an ugly-looking dog wedged between a couple of
dumpsters, a mutt with a swollen head and big watery eyes. It raised up its
front paw, pointed it at Herman, and then uncurled that paw to show five stubby
fingers.

"You Herman Melville?" asked the dog.

Herman simply nodded.

"The guy responsible for dolphins running the whole show up the line?"

Again Herman nodded.

"Well if you want to do something about it, I got a plan. Down in L.A., at the
UCLA Med Center, they're working on grafting chimp frontal lobes onto Dobermans.
We need your help to make sure that work gets done."

Herman said nothing.

He knew there was nothing that had to be said.

"We'll treat you right," said the dog. "'We've always liked you, always been
your best friend. You help us get rid of these damn dolphins, and there will
always be a place for you at our fireplace."

"Home is where the heart is," said Dr. Cutler.

"You in?" asked the mutant dog who had come from some phantom future.

Herman smiled.

Flipper would pay.
