BE YOUR DOG


        

Be Your Dog is the episodic account of a stray dog, Xiao Chou, and the author, Matt Turner. Written in a voice that’s earnest and open, Be Your Dog pivots on subtle and freshly layered observations.

*

On cold days I wake up first. Chou follows me as I go to make coffee.

He waits outside the kitchen, and the morning sun comes in the back window.

It casts a yellow square over his back.

*

I wonder about the line, for a dog, between pleasure and compulsion.

*

If you’re not listening.

What are you listening to?

Last night went to Lowlands Bar.
