This whimsical and thrilling play proves that dogs are truly man's best friend. Richard Soltero-Brown writes with precision yet still leaves room for exploration. Feelings, like needing to be accepted and needing love, compliment (and contradict) each other at various moments, making the innerworkings of these characters reveal themselves piece by piece throughout the play. This would be a clear standout in any theater company who will produce it.

This actually feels like a psychological horror film. Dog lovers will be absolutely shaken by this play. I love how the escalation of their cursing using different F words from scene to scene until it becomes the true bomb, just like the situation they find themselves in. This whole play is almost an open scene, without really knowing much about the 3 characters beyond their feelings for each other or the dog. Which opens this up to many different ways to stage this and that makes this exciting.

A very layered and complex piece, in a way that subversively challenges the audience. The dissection of the central relationship of two unnamed characters is provoked both metaphorically and literally by the titular dog, who is a fascinating character despite being unseen and only heard on select occasions. There's a swath of subtle themes that grow and escalate in intriguing ways. It's really all very fascinating!
