About this listen

A book about what humans have done to the world and what we have done to ourselves. Specifically, it is a book about ‘Man’s best friends’ – their origin-myths, and their place in the world before they were coopted into human society and ideas of pure breeding and dysgenics. The Dogs also imagines a future where dogs develop the power of speech; led by the non-violent UnderDogs and the more radical Der Uberhünd, the animals of the world begin demanding their rights.

This is an epic collection of poems about the plight of dogs, starting with the origin myths, then moving through the history of their co-option into human society, moving through the formation of the Kennel Club in 1873, up to present day. The final section looks at an imagined future where dogs acquire speech and revolt against their masters.
