Student Narrative

Canidae highlights the contrasting perception humans have towards dogs and wolves. Though dogs are descendants of wolves, they receive far more care and affection than their ancestors. In children’s stories and other media, wolves are repeatedly cast as the “big, bad” creature, despite their vital role in maintaining healthy ecosystems. How do these narratives subconsciously shape the way we see and treat these animals? Canidae is a collection of four stories that weave together spot illustrations, comics, and research to examine these questions.
