"And the question is: Are the coyotes the last dregs of a wild we are inevitably surrounding... or are they the first scouts of a wild that is inevitably surrounding us?"
Toby and Melinda live quiet lonely lives in their apartment building. Until the night when a starving coyote shows up on their fire escape. From here their world spirals magically, wildly out of control as they embrace their animal instincts - every night bonding deeper with their untamed visitor. By turns highly poetic, disturbing, and dangerous, "My Barking Dog" is a riotous, riveting exploration of the lengths to which our everyday lives have disconnected us from nature, and what happens when the boundaries between wild and civilized are gnawed clean through.
