I Can Hear the Dog Bark
I Can Hear the Dog Bark is about a child in the foster care system. Being removed from his parents and dog, the only concept of familiarity to keep him grounded was his parents' hugs and his dog's bark. As he continues to be placed from foster home to foster home and further away from his home and community, the barking of the dog becomes more distant while connection and familiarity becomes fragmented and mystifying.
