Dumpster Dog

Dumpster Dog

by Colas Gutman

His name is Dumpster Dog. He sleeps outside, walks himself, and eats whatever he wants, whenever he wants. But a life outdoors isn’t everything, he comes to realize. So begins Dumpster Dog’s search for a human companion. However, he soon learns that finding a good owner isn’t as easy as it sounds, and that the world can be a dangerous place. Despite the misadventures he falls into as an outcast, we never see Dumpster Dog lose touch with his sense of loyalty and compassion. Charming and humorous, Dumpster Dog does everything in his power to help those he encounters. And it is in these brave and generous gestures that he finds a place in the world, and a sense of fulfillment that is far richer than what he initially hoped to find.
