<b><i>Perhaps with him I am a dog </i></b><br /><br />What was Kevin? He was earnest yet playful, boisterous yet lazy, a little rough sometimes, extremely direct and always sure of what he wanted. He was also sensitive, kind, supportive and caring, not to mention highly communicative and supremely understanding towards children.<br /><br /><i>My Life as a Dog</i> is the funny, heartwarming and moving story of a life shared between a black and tan dachshund and his owner.<br /><br />Told over two days and a weekend drawn from their many years together, it explores how Kevin overcame his cruel upbringing to flower into a self-confident dog that left everyone he met spellbound. And as they grew together, his owner learned to live in the present and navigate the difficult times they faced together.<br /><br />But with Kevin rejected by the canine world and their connection ever-more profound and symbiotic, the question was: What does he think I am?<br /><br />L.A.
