Donna Haraway in When Species Meet: 

“I brace myself to go on by studying the artist David
Goines’s Chinese Year of the Dog poster for 2006: one of the most gorgeous chow chows I have ever seen. Indifferent to the charms of a blue-purple tongue, D&G [Deleuze & Guattari] knew how to kick the psychoanalyst where it would
hurt, but they had no eye for the elegant curve of a good chow’s tail, much
less the courage to look such a dog in the eye.”  p. 29

Not sure why she questions the “courage” of D&G here, seems like a superfluous, petty rhetorical flourish…meant to do what?
