犬の”飼い主”に、「飼い犬」に成りきってインタビューに答えてもらう。

感覚的、主観的な関係である”犬”の存在について、現実的に想像する。

So, I asked the owner of a dog to act their dogs .

"Please become your dog"

I questioned about relationships between owner and dog to these dogs .

I don't want to sleep with my owner.

I feel pain Because my owner yells at me often.

Thank you so much for loving me every time.

Take, You could die for your owner?

why do I have to help her!

Yes,I can die for my owner

I can die for my owner if my owner die with me.
