What happens when a boy is raised like a dog…and then thrust into the modern world? The Dogcatcher's Kid tells the story of Peter, a stoic dogcatcher who adopts the discarded dogs he should be euthanizing. When he takes possession of an abandoned baby, Peter is forced to confront the society he abandoned long ago. As Plato said: Of all animals, boy is the most unmanageable. In two simple narrative threads, The Dogcatcher’s Kid traces civilization from its roots in rural Greece, through small-town manufacturing, and onto skyscraper rooftops, paying homage along the way to each generation’s turning points. The timeless words of Socrates and Plato guide the journey, echoing clearly with their current relevance. Where did the modern world come from? Why did it get so big? And how can a mix of Greek and canine philosophies help a young boy to navigate it? The Dogcatcher’s Kid is a fable both ancient and modern. For lovers of animals or lovers of gadgets. And for anybody who has been a parent, an adult, or a kid.
