"Dog on Wheels" takes a simple suburban activity and turns it into an epic human struggle. In the video, a man is seen walking a plaster dog through the suburbs. As the man struggles to keep the dog moving, the abrasive sound of the dog's wheels reiterate this struggle. The video is then installed in a pseudo-domestic setting, complete with the dog's broken leg placed on a wooden shelf, as if it were a trophy.
