This is a book you will love if you have a dog and won’t bother to finish if you don’t. But using how a dog is treated by each member of a couple is a wonderful metaphor for their relationship. My own is below.
The Answer
My wife claims our Coon Hound is deaf,
but the dog is so focused on sniffing out
imagined prey that unless you sneak up
behind her and grab her head, nothing
else exists. For me is that paying bills,
writing stories, wondering why my kids
don’t call? No, my black and tan, fixated
friend, some of us are Jack Russell
Terriers, jumping up and down, barking
at the wind.
