As a writer who loves dogs, I have always been fascinated by the complex social dynamics and communication methods of our furry friends (and all animals).
If you’ve experimented writing about dogs playing amateur sleuth or ordinary pups turned private investigators, do I have a treat for you.
Let’s explore the social dynamics and communication of dogs through short stories.
Also DOGGOS!
Each story will feature our four-legged friends in mysteries, adventures, or other shenanigans – the heroes and villains of our stories will find themselves in unpaw-sible situations.
I really don’t know what to expect, or how this will go, but I’m excited to see what creative and thought-provoking submissions we receive.
As a dog watcher, I’ve often found myself creating little stories about the dogs in my neighborhood and imagining the adventures they might go on and how the canine residents might “em-bark” on their own mysteries and whodunits.
This perspective also says a lot about us as humans. By seeing the world from a dog’s point of view, we can reflect on our own interactions with each other, our families, our neighborhoods and our communities.
Did you chew on my new zine “Paws, Pats & Pens”? If you wrote original characters while doing the exercises, this would be the perfect op-paw-tunity to see your work published.
Let’s unleash the stories! Come to the bark side. *Thank you for not barking through my paw-ful puns.
