The setting of "War Dogs" in an animal-care facility emerged from a desire to explore narratives centered on animals, spotlighting their perspectives in fiction.
Reading works like Samantha Harvey's "Orbital" sparked a new artistic direction for me, inspiring the inclusion of non-human viewpoints in storytelling.
The story unfolds around two dogs and a polo pony, intentionally crafted with human-like cognition to challenge traditional narrative forms and explore their realities.
I grappled with the fine line of anthropomorphism, balancing between depicting authentic animal experiences and allowing them a human-like consciousness in the narrative.
