Jerry is a Politician (eagle-eyed, pointy-headed hippie puppy). Dorothy is a Prophet (psychic, bleeding-hearted tyrant turtle). They are opposite in every respect of personality—orientation, perception, judgment, and attitude—and thus “complete” each other.

The story is about the possibility of love destiny—the notion that lovers are predetermined by destiny to be together. Of all the personality types, only the bleeding-hearted psychics are prone to believe in such things.
