Andy says: "I don't normally do animal books, but I was talking at a primary school when a boy interrupted my blather with a classic non-sequitur: 'Hey, mister. I've got a dog.' 'That's nice,' I said. 'No, it's not,' said the boy. 'He wants to be a cat.' The audience laughed, and that same night I started writing about a pet in crisis. I invented a rejected puppy with paralysing doubts about his instincts and orientation, and out came DOG: a troubled book, but so full of joy. It was a joy to write, anyway."
Introduction
Raphael Fernández is a “trash boy”: he’s 14 years old and he lives in a shanty on a giant landfill called Behala, spending his days collecting trash to sell for food. Raphael works with his best friend, Gardo, who looks after him. Behala’s residents mostly collect plastic, clean paper, and rags to sell by the kilogram. Since not many people in their city have toilets, human feces—or, stupp—ends up wrapped in paper and thrown in the trash, which is what most of Behala’s residents spend their days wading in as they dig out garbage with their feet or hooks that they fashion out of metal.
