Why dog people? Mazza, winner of a PEN/Nelson Algren Award and coeditor of Chick-Lit and Chick-Lit 2, also trains and shows her dog, a basis for exploring the dynamics of her characters: a love-starved caterer, a fascist dog trainer, a lesbian dancer, the passive Fanny, and her husband, Morgan, a hopelessly mediocre dancer. People want the wrong people, and this same awkwardness extends to dogs. When the dog trainer expresses her interest in mating a wolf with Fanny's dog, the hapless, joyless mechanics that ensue illustrate the belief that all potential pleasures can be reduced to graphic mechanics.
