Points of View: "Your Dog Dies"

This is a video that was started a few years ago, and I just never really felt like I finished the editing of it. So it's finally finished. I know it's probably not everyone's cup of tea, but I have to say, I completely nerd out on things like this. I love the idea that art can cause people to think and to react and understand something about themselves--I hope the video has caught a bit of that. Your Dog Dies It gets run over by a van. You find it at the side of the road and bury it. You feel bad about it. You feel bad personally, but you feel bad for your daughter because it was her pet, and she loves it so. She used to croon to it and let it sleep in her bed. you write a poem about it. You call it a poem for your daughter, about the dog getting run over by a van and how you looked after it, took it out into the woods and buried it deep, deep, and that poem turns out so good you're almost glad the little dog was run over, or else you'd never have written that good poem. Then you sit down to write a poem about writing a poem about the death of that dog. But while you're writing you hear a woman scream your name, your first name, both syllables, and your heart stops. After a minute, you continue writing. she screams again. You wonder how long this can go on. By Raymond Carver
