SELECT PAGES FROM The FIELDNOTES OF DR. TOBIAS BOZ,
ANTHROZOOLOGIST
Dr. Tobias Boz was born and raised in The Neighbourhood. He became well known for his anthrozoological study of Neighbourhood dogs, both stray and domesticated. Celebrated and maligned, these dogs became a life-long obsession for Dr. Boz. These pages are selected from notebooks that he kept during the study, on close inspection they divulge more than the habits of the canine population. Despite the study’s questionable accuracy one can explore the complex relationship between Tobias and his subjects, contemplate the collection and representation of empirical evidence, and relive a torrid confrontation between shame and desire.
