In one respect this is a tasteless joke about how all of Lucy's dogs were murdered — after all, he can't be the dog-man if there are no dogs to care for. At the same time, though, we can see this statement as an assertion of Petrus's growing social status: The opposite seems to happen to David.

Though dogs are used to characterize his status, they more often reflect his personal, internal trials and tribulations. As things get worse for him and he dives deeper and deeper into shame and disgrace, his character becomes more closely aligned with that of a dog.

The Mayers promised to move the litter box — and the pig — to the rear deck but the neighbor says the stench remains. The multitude of different animals and techniques makes the farm a mini diversity Hub. Knowing that her obesity needed to be managed, and that she needed to lose a fair amount of weight to be spayed, Andrew and Erin decided she would be a permanent resident—the bond that would form in the amount of time needed to get her healthy would be too strong to break by rehoming her. However, skin problems and food allergies can occur. After the recent focus on monoculture in farming, the project argues that crossbreeding is essential and the only solution for sustainable production.

When he talks to Lucy about his own humiliation at the University following his affair with Melanie, he compares himself to a dog that is beaten for following its sexual instincts In a more concrete way, as David's personal situation worsens, he spends more and more time in the animal clinic helping to put dogs to sleep. On one hand, this act represents letting dogs out of their misery and suffering, but on the other hand, it's a truly pathetic way for them to go.

Perhaps it's even more pathetic that David involves himself in the task.

Lucy’s Transformation

As the novel winds down, the connection between dogs and people experiencing disgrace is made more explicit. Consider the following exchange between Lucy and David as they discuss the humiliation of how things have turned out: To start at ground level. Not with nothing but.

No cards, no weapons, no property, no rights, no dignity. Not long after this exchange, David becomes attached to one particular dog at the clinic that suffers from a crippled leg. Even though he sees disgrace in dying, he also sees extreme shamefulness in the way the dog is forced to live.

Pet Or Livestock? City Says Lucy Must Go.

Cherie says she'll appeal, giving her more time to keep Lucy while challenging the ordinance. Livestock is something you raise for food. She may run with the dogs, but Lucy is not a pet in the eyes of the law.

A complaint led to enforcement of the no livestock ordinance in Bellevue. Cherie hopes she'll have time to prove to the neighborhood that Lucy won't turn her house and yard into a pig sty. Before bringing Lucy home, the pet owners called the Nebraska Humane Society and were assured that Bellevue's animal control ordinance doesn't outlaw pot-bellied pigs.

However, the Humane Society staff member didn't realize Bellevue has a separate zoning law which prohibits swine inside city limits. The Humane Society will apologize for the misinformation.
