Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A series of chronicles of real events, occurrences with a strong humorous and sarcastic component, described and analyzed in a book that is completely out of step with the cult-like worship of four-legged companions. A debut work.From a careful and ruthless observer of the customs of a society that is increasingly tamed and mass-produced, a semi-serious picture of the dynamics that have brought this presence into every corner of human affairs.At the same time, a heavy-handed and sharp look at the throng of followers of a habit that has exploded in the recent past, to the point of taking on the global proportions of a collective devotion-one whose unedifying and harmful aspects are brought to light. A phenomenon sustained by a market of unheard-of proportions, unknown to most.The dynamics that have made this occasional participant the absolute protagonist of the attentions of those who elevate it and place it above humanity, and therefore above themselves.An extreme form of collective degradation, which goes so far as to replace relationships between people with sensible rules of behavior.An analysis of the gap between the real animal and the one created by this phenomenon of hyper-diffusion, often seen as a living "stuffed toy," an emotional substitute for trying to fill loneliness.More than being "against" the presence of dogs, this is an approach against the cultural distortion of the four-legged creature's relationship with humans, pointing to the centrality of the human being as essential.A view that is not diplomatic or accommodating, with practical suggestions for responding to the many instances of abuse that so many people without a furry companion find themselves, against their will, having to face day to day.
