Dingos and dogs have been companions of humans for thousands of years. The thylacine has become an icon of Tasmania, maybe still there; the irony escapes no one. Dogs and the like sit well as metaphors for the human condition/emotions. The emotion of happiness can be momentary, passes (like the existence of a species?), transient, elusive, longed for. In the fantasy world of ‘art’ things can happen outside the realm of stark reality, can even be anti-reality.
