HOUND

Hound: a. dog with drooping ears, a short coat and a deep resonant voice. b. to pursue relentlessly

This work explores the culturally specific activity of dog walking.

Walking one’s pet dog is an urban first-world concept. A practice engaged by members of moneyed societies.

Walking the hound is a daily repetitive task. It doesn’t matter what the weather the dog must go out. This particular relentless demand on a person’s time is unique to first-world societies. Although the relentless repetitive routine practice of the dog walk in these societies is taken for granted people in many countries would find walking a dog an absurd concept.
