Diogenes

In this picture book, a dog living in ancient Greece decides to abandon his domesticated life and live independently, similar to how a mouse lives freely without an owner. The story follows the dog's journey as he chooses to no longer sit, stay, roll over, or play fetch for a human master. The book concludes with end notes that discuss the life and teachings of the Greek philosopher Diogenes, who famously lived as a beggar in a tub and advocated for living in accordance with nature.
