Why do you think Hasan said she "clipped herself" when he wasn't looking and had no idea why she might have suddenly yelped? Do you think he's in the habit of coming up with glib explanations on the spot for why his dog suddenly yelped in pain, that explain them away, while using a condescending and dismissive tone of voice towards the entire type of the question?
Or is he maybe linked to the dog, like a twin, so that he felt her pain at the instant she felt it no matter the distance between them, in space or time?
