Quote 1

I reared up on my back legs and cried out to him to recognize me. (17.5)

Joey does his best to communicate with his human, Albert. Here, you can practically hear him saying, "Hello, Wilbur!" Oh—we mean Albert. Unfortunately, Albert doesn't speak horse, so he doesn't recognize Joey until they clean him off.

Quote 2

Just as children never forget the sound of their parents' voices, the sound of Albert's voice stays ingrained in Joey's subconscious.
