About This Book
A comic short follows a small-town household coping with an unexpected puppy shipped from afar and the escalating attempts by neighbors to control and discard it. The pup’s antics, including ceaseless howling, odd appetites, and a regular flight response whenever threatened with firearms, prompt increasingly absurd hypotheses and experiments among the men, who apply pseudo-scientific arithmetic and official warnings while sleep deprivation and etiquette tensions mount. Episodes map the animal’s awkward training and the neighbors’ schemes to be rid of it, offering a gentle satire of human credulity, vanity, and the social quirks of small-community interference.
