An existential comic thriller. On the night of the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, fire breaks out in a neglected government kennel. One of the dying dogs hallucinates an escape, flies from the kennel, and wreaks havoc on a somnambulant desert community. Bird Dog amuses, confounds, provokes, portends and mortifies with subversive humor, blatant ambiguity, eye-popping epiphanies, and breathtaking Mojave Desert locations. Corrupt leaders,surreal visions, and unrequited drama show what horrors wreak the dogs of war.—Anonymous
