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 is earnest and open, the impact of Be Your Dog emerges in the form of 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.
