The core of the reference
Title (My Brilliant Career) refers to a book about a woman in Australia who is trying to start up a writing career and prove her independence. Sybylla (the name of the main character) in the beginning of the story spends time talking to pigs who seem to listen to her. We have Lily striking out on a new career of independence and her best relationship at work is with the dog which according to another poster is an Australian shepherd! Gotta be intentional.
