What’s with All the Dogs?

I’m not sure what it is, but in the most recent batch of lit mags coming through NewPages World Headquarters I’ve found a recurring subject: Dogs.

Grasslimb starts with the short story “To the Dogs” by Kurt Newton on its front page.

The Hollins Critic features “The Dogs of Literature – Seymour Krim: Bottom Dogs, Part II.”

The cover of Big Muddy: A Journal of the Missippii River Valley features a sweet pair of hounddoggies in a photo by Wes Anderson on its cover.

And finally, Barking Sycamores. Okay, it’s not about dogs at all, but I coudn’t help but make the connection. It’s a unique publication I covered in this blog post.
