Hot Dog

Summary

An overheated little dachshund melts down on a sweltering city sidewalk until its owner whisks it away to a cool beach for relief and renewal. The nearly wordless tale follows the pair from the crowded clamor of the city to open sand and water, then back home with calm restored. Doug Salati shifts his palette and brushwork to match each mood, opening up airy seaside spreads after the cramped heat of the urban scenes to capture the simple joy of escape.
