An amusing and eccentric collection of stories based on some of
society's most controversial issues, addressed within the context
of a family's everyday life situations. The main characters: a man,
his wife and two children are consistent throughout. Killer Joe,
the deathrow inmate in The Felinicide, is a cat accused of killing
the family cockatoo. Dick is the classic struggle of man against
nature. Dick is the unprincipled family dog who gets the dog next
door pregnant, creating problems with the neighbor. The Doctress
deals with the narrator's insecurity and homophobia as he
experiences his first prostate examination. And finally, Nero deals
with a fatal hit-and-run and the media's influence in the
investigation and on public opinion. Nero happens to be a big,
sloppy dog who belongs to the granddaughter of the popular local
news anchor. The trial and eventual resolution of events occurs at
the family dinner table.
