Christopher's mother, Judy, died from a heart attack two years prior to the events of the story. One night, Christopher discovers that his neighbour Mrs. Shears's dog, Wellington, has been fatally speared with a garden fork. As Christopher mourns over Wellington's body, Mrs. Shears calls the police. When a policeman grabs Christopher's arm, Christopher panics and hits him, so he is arrested for assaulting a police officer, though he is quickly released with a police caution. He decides to investigate the dog's death, despite his father's objections, chronicling any information he receives in a book. During his investigation, he meets the elderly Mrs. Alexander, who informs Christopher that his mother had an affair with Mr. Shears. </p><p>Ed discovers the book and confiscates it. While searching his father's room for the book, Christopher finds letters from his mother dated after her supposed death, and eventually realises that she is still alive and living in <a href="/wiki/London" title="London">London</a> with Mr. Shears. He becomes distressed and enters a <a href="/wiki/Catatonic" class="mw-redirect" title="Catatonic">catatonic</a> state. Realizing that Christopher has discovered the letters, Ed admits to lying about Judy's death. Ed also confesses that he had killed Wellington in anger after an argument with Mrs. Shears. Christopher decides to run away and live with his mother. </p><p>After a long, event-filled journey, evading policemen and feeling ill from the trains and crowds around him, he finally finds his way to the home of his mother and Mr. Shears, much to the delight of the former and chagrin of the latter. Soon after arriving, Christopher wants to return to Swindon in order to take his mathematics <a href="/wiki/A-level" title="A-level">A-level</a>, but his mother contacts the school to postpone it. However, Judy and Mr. Shears break up due to conflict over Christopher, and as a result Judy returns with Christopher to Swindon and the exam is reinstated. </p><p>After an argument, Judy agrees to let Ed see Christopher for brief daily visits. Christopher remains apprehensive of his father, hoping he will be imprisoned for killing Wellington. Ed gifts Christopher a puppy, promising that he will gradually rebuild trust with his son. Christopher declares that he will take further exams and attend university. He completes his mathematics A-level with top grades. The book ends with Christopher optimistic about his future. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Characters">Characters</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Curious_Incident_of_the_Dog_in_the_Night-Time&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Characters"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <dl><dt>Christopher John Francis Boone</dt> <dd>The protagonist and narrator of the novel who investigates the murder of Mrs. Shears's dog Wellington while navigating the challenges of his disorder.</dd> <dt>Ed Boone</dt> <dd>Christopher's father, a boiler engineer and <a href="/wiki/Single_parent" title="Single parent">single parent</a>.

I gave [Christopher] kind of 9 or 10 rules that he would live his life by, and then I didn't read any more about Asperger's because I think there is no typical person who has Asperger's syndrome, and they're as large and diverse a group of people as any other group in society. And the important thing is that I did a lot of imagining, that I did a lot of putting myself into his shoes in trying to make him come alive as a human being rather than getting him right, whatever that might mean.<sup id="cite_ref-NPR_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NPR-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote><p> Haddon states on his website that, although he had read "a handful of newspaper and magazine articles about, or by, people with Asperger's and autism" in preparation for writing the book, he knows "very little" about Asperger's syndrome and that Christopher Boone is inspired by two different people. According to Haddon, neither of these people can be labelled as having a disability. Haddon added that he "slightly regret[s]" that the term <i>Asperger's syndrome</i> appeared on the cover of his novel.<sup id="cite_ref-mh-autism_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mh-autism-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 2010, in an interview with <i><a href="/wiki/The_Independent" title="The Independent">The Independent</a></i>, he was described as </p><blockquote><p>now thoroughly irritated that the word Asperger's appeared on subsequent editions of the novel, because now everyone imagines that he is an expert and he keeps getting phone calls asking him to appear at lectures.<sup id="cite_ref-Independent_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Independent-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote><p> In a critical essay on the novel, Vivienne Muller quotes some praise by experts on <a href="/wiki/Disability#Theory" title="Disability">disability theory</a>: </p><blockquote><p>In its presentation of Christopher's everyday experiences of the society in which he lives, the narrative offers a rich canvas of experiences for an ethnographic study of this particular cognitive condition, and one which places a positive spin on the syndrome. The reader in this instance acts as ethnographer, invited to see what Mark Osteen claims is a 'quality in autistic lives that is valuable in and of itself'.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Along similar lines, [Alex] McClimens writes that Haddon's novel is 'an ethnographic delight' and that 'Haddon's achievement is to have written a novel that turns on the central character's difference without making that difference a stigmatising characteristic.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote><p> Muller adds that the novel </p><blockquote><p>works with a strong sense of the disabled speaking subject, drawing readers into Christopher's cognitive / corporeal space through an incremental layering of his perspectives and reactions<span class="nowrap"> </span>...
