Home Sweet Homer: A Basset Hound's View

A Basset Hound named Homer learns the ways of the human world when Patty and Mark, a beautician and a musician, adopt him. Together, the three form a small nuclear family. Homer keeps his nose to the ground, his eyes open, and his long ears tuned. While nothing goes unobserved by Homer, much of what he learns of the human world puzzles him greatly. At Patty’s beauty shop, Homer sits under the sink and witnesses the customers’ dismay. Can Patty make them beautiful? Don’t they know even a pug is beautiful in its own way? While Mark composes, Homer notices Mark’s insecurity. Why can’t he write music like Chopin? It all sounds like music to Homer’s ears. Still, they are happy together, until Patty reveals a heartbreaking secret to Homer, one that requires Homer’s creative action to keep his world intact.
