A brief intro, and the cover

Part-Time Dog is the story of a PhD candidate in philosophy in need of some extra cash. A rich couple in Brooklyn Heights hire him to pretend to be a dog for their kid, because they don't want a real dog peeing all over their rugs. It is not uplifting.

Free bonus fun!! Count the number of individual brushstrokes it took to render the dog hair in this image. Then try not to think too hard about it. Then don't feel your fingers start to cramp up. Then take some aspirin.
