  • To hear how the love for pets in our society is very much a modern thing and how depictions of “a boy and his dog” are rooted in boomer nostalgia and aspirations (at least how it appears to me), it almost completely wallpapers over the notion of growing up in the suburbs is lonely, as the only constant companionship comes from an animal happy that you feed it. Especially as distances between properties and reliance on cars grow, you return to the loneliness of depression era rural farms in america where the telephone’s invention meant you can regularly contact people again.
