Pauline and Magda are two eccentric ladies tired with the monotony of their daily life. Pauline decides that the solution is acquiring a dog. As she says, she does. When the vivacious dog Bob arrives it turns the house upside down. Life becomes more vigorous than Pauline could have dreamt of.
But the two sisters do disagree a lot on how to relate to the new unruly member of the family. How shall the dog be raised? Shall he be allowed to be 100 % dog, or does he have to learn some manners?
The Dog by Grenland Friteater was more about humans than dogs, of course. About being different, about socialising and about the joy of playing tag. An story about heartbeats and friendship.
