Four authors unleash their thoughts and embark on a philosophical journey to explore the relationship between two-legged and four-legged beings. Along the way, they traverse the history of literature and philosophy to identify both the intellectual and emotional kinship as well as the insurmountable differences between philosophers and dogs. They reminisce about their childhood dog or the childhood longing for a dog, which manifested quite differently in adulthood. They also examine small things, such as a pet store brochure or an inconspicuous dog waste bag, which become subjects of deep reflection, for example, on the carefree dog ownership of the past compared to the complex possibilities and demands of dog ownership today.
