Peter is elated that his mother is happy at last and reflects that this was always meant to be, as his father's suicide and his own action of giving Phil a hide tainted with anthrax has paved the way for her to be content. Christopher loves maths because it is safe, straightforward and has a definite answer, unlike life. He's also good at explaining some aspects, ending an explanation of calculating primes with "Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away". Of course, if he's going to write a book, that means he can take control. He hates the way other books have chapter numbers that increase sequentially (1,2,3).

Every dog owner wants the perfect dog, but this takes time, patience, and commitment. Of course, there are some dog breeds that can be easier to train, like the breeds listed here. However, trainability is individual to each dog. A reviewer for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote that the story is "a touching evolution, one that Haddon scripts with tenderness and care... a unique window into the mind of a boy who thinks a little differently, but like many kids his age, doesn't quite know how to feel."
