NOTE FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT:  The dog should not act like a dog but rather embody the essence of a dog. A dog living in a human body rather than a human living in a dog body. The most human version of embodiment with dog-like energy.

Synopsis

Liz is a tough-as-nails New Yorker with a life falling apart faster than her morning bagel. When a scruffy stray dog shows up on her stoop, Liz —⁠ the least dog person on the planet —⁠ reluctantly agrees to foster it. This temporary inconvenience quickly turns into a heartwarming and hilarious journey of self-discovery. Who says you can’t teach an old dog (or a stubborn New Yorker) new tricks? In the city that never sleeps, it sometimes takes an unexpected friend to wake up what truly matters and that the most loyal friends find each other when they need it most.
