Abstract
This essay takes both a theoretical and autoethnographic approach: utilizing Levinas and Derrida alongside the true story of my singular relationship with a wild animal, this essay attempts to demonstrate not only the multiplicity of differences between human and nonhuman animals more generally, but specifically and by way of example, the contextual politics developed in and through a singular animal and human relationship.
