Dogs and Disturbance is a story set in blank verse about living with dogs. What we see isn't what dogs can smell or hear, nor is what we care about the same, except ironically it is.

Species nor individual, neither can succeed by dominance, no matter how successful if it doesn't support a deep humility for all life. The end condition of life is death for all creatures. How we meet it, and how we may help others meet it is some kind of measure of our worth.
