Synopsis | Featuring Boy, a rather foul mouthed assertive West Highland Terrier, and the timid young woman who is dogsitting whilst his owners are away. Disgruntled with the way in which he is being cared for, Boy deliberately disobeys the young woman and, using very adult language, lets the audience know just how he feels. As the tussle for superiority progresses the roles become reversed ending in a newly subservient Boy being dominated by the young woman who, as a result of Boy's behaviour, has found a new self-assurance. |
