How to talk to a hunter

I really really enjoyed this story. Even though it takes place in a different setting, it pertains to modern day relationships. I found it kind of funny and sad at the same time, because the protagonist knows what the hunter is like, she knows he is with Janie Coyote, and throughout the whole story she is trying to advise us, the readers, how to "deal" with a man like the hunter. She is trying to teach something she can not do herself. Because for the protagonist when it comes to love, what's right and wrong don't really make a difference because at the end of the day she is "emotionally bound" to this hunter, when it is clear to her, her friends, and the reader that she should leave him. And that is why at the end of the story she is exactly like the dog, lonely and sad, but can't do anything because they are both "chained" down.
