1. Biggest event was the shooting, because it changed the ladies hole view on life. Her husband and her seemed to make up by him showing he cared and hugging her, even though they will probably only remain friends. Then, she re-evaluates her decision on keeping the dog alive. She knows the he is suffering so she wants to do the right thing and let the dog die. In one sentence she had said something about how she was going through the doors to the rest of her life.
2. Jo Ann Beard seemed very depressed at the beggining and in the middle of the essay. She is upset about the dog and how her husband is always calling to reassure himself that he doesn't want to be with her. At the end Jo Ann is in shock and almost acting like she is refreshed. Almost like she wants to start over with a new outlook on life.
3. I think the dog is important because it shows the value in life. Jo Ann was upset about the dog getting to old age, which is a natural process for everything. She valued the dog's life too much while her coworker's not enough. She was shocked in the end to see people so close to her be taken away so fast. The dog is symbolizing her to move on and see what is important in life and what you just need to let go of.
