Summer afternoon walks with a girl who hides the fact that she's a girl to be able to play football with the rest of the boys, getting stuck in a freezing pond while the whole neighborhood is watching you, falling down a ceiling and landing on a naked woman who's posing for a drawing, travelling to space via the device your friend's granddad has made, reading a lingerie catalog for a dying old man, secluding in a cabin and trying to cope with the traumatic passing of your mom... <i>My Life As a Dog</i> is a window to a childhood many are not familiar with but its fleeting moments are filled with wistful nostalgia seeing as the growing pains are pretty much the same all around the globe and even comparing won't ease the pain. We all bark away the hurt. <b>× Best Line: </b>She starved to death. It's important to have something like that to compare things to.
