In our long history, humans have created many companions: Tamagotchi, Roomba, Zune, Shake Weight… but no artificial companion will ever replace Man’s Best Friend. Dogs are the quintessential domestic animal that have been with us from nomadic to cave to agricultural to modern life. And as such, they are perhaps our greatest and final connection to our animal nature. Thence, occasionally, nature calls.
In our futuristic nuclear-powered metropolises we discrete our shame down drains and sewers in the dark bowels underneath our monoliths, but the dog does not. The dog forces us outside for it’s business, displaying its duty for all the public to see. Yet nature has no place here… and so Dog’s Best Friend now kneels, bowing to the unnatural world we’ve built, and bags it up.
But what if nobody is looking? What if its inconvenient? What if its raining? Surely that counts as cleaning… right?
Join Veronique and Mat as we relieve ourselves of this mess and flush away the Rainy Day Dog Poop.
