What happens in Citizen Dog from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Pod is a country boy who travels to Bangkok, drawn by opportunity but met with the wary tap of fate from his Grandmother, who warns that life in the city might literally grow a tail. He finds a modest place to call home and starts work in a sardine cannery, caught between cramped shifts and the odd, slapstick danger of urban life. The ride to work comes on the back of a motorcycle taxi, the driver long ago turned into a kind of urban legend—almost a zombie after a day of rain and a helmet left forgotten on the shelf of memory.
