Poor superdog. He may be tied to a pole. He may lead a physically circumscribed life. But that does not mean that is mind is fettered! A witty and understated exchange with a self-absorbed butterfly makes clear that it is one's view of the world that matters.
Expressive drawings of a winsome little dog and a know-it-all butterfly, told sparely in delightfully ironic words, make a subtly powerful, zen story about freedom and what it really means.
