Synopsis Ever wondered what your dog was thinking? Not just for dog lovers, The Dog Logs is a unique mix of humour, tragedy, poignancy and romance. These dogs' lives are every bit as rich and complex as our own, as they negotiate love, friendship, revenge, violence - even sex! Ultimately, these stories reflect the major concerns of being human. The Dog Logs tell the stories of eleven different dogs, brought vividly to life in monologue form. Although currently performed by three actors and a live musician, it has been performed as a one-man play and could also use up to eleven separate actors. The result is highly theatrical, extremely funny, at times very moving, and thoroughly unique. Among the breeds is a tough Rottweiler with neighbour problems, an aging mongrel who discovers love late in life, a Greyhound who might be too clever for his own good, an extremely suave Afghan Hound who's very proud of his studly abilities, a police dog who finds himself up against some abhorrent lawbreakers, a Kelpie with an interesting herding problem and an NZ Customs Beagle with attitude.
