Dog love

'We Don't Deserve Dogs' (2020) is a delightful collection of small portraits of people from all over the world and their loving relationships with dogs. Not everything is equally interesting, but due to the multitude of stories, you always come across something that resonates more. In some stories, mentally and physically damaged people find an outlet in dogs, such as the assistance dogs for traumatized former child soldiers in Uganda, or the assistance dog program in Iceland. In other stories, dogs become part of ceremonies, such as a Spanish birthday party for puppies and a religious Nepalese festival to honor street dogs in Nepal. For an Italian truffle hunter and a Romanian shepherd, dogs are part of a traditional way of life. Some of the women portrayed break with societal conventions, such as a practicing Muslim woman from India who took in a lame stray dog. And then there is the bizarre stylistic break when a Vietnamese butcher is portrayed who slaughters local dogs. I can't get the pitiful look of a caged young dog out of my mind...
