After the story was told, it says that Sparky was killed by a pack of dogs because no dogs were ever supposed to talk to humans. The reason the stranger in the park had to keep it a secret was because though he thought all dogs were of superior intelligence, instead of telling the whole world he wanted to let dogs keep living the good life of lying around, eating, and sleeping all day.

This story expresses the true reality, and absurdity of human society. Why is that in this story an animal helped create one of the greatest inventions ever, it just doesn't make sense. The plot being as unreasonable, and abnormal as it is is to intrigue us, as readers, and to sort of confuse us. It's shows how hard, and long humans work for little goals and material things while here, in this story dogs just do nothing and still live a great and luxurious life of lying around and doing nothing. But still being brilliant and never showing the humans that they truly are remarkable. But we can't be like Sparky, we have to work hard and go above and beyond to be smart, successful, or have the things you want, and that's not such a bad thing. Edison wanted dogs to keep living easy lives so that humans would keep working hard, finding new things, improving the world, and making the world more efficient and intelligent. When he said he was saving humanity by not telling anyone dogs are indeed smarter than humans, he truly was.
