Blogger/Social Commentator/Cartoonist Lucy Marshall creates The Dogophile: The Thinking Dog's Guide Lucy lives in Sydney, Australia.
After years of concerted practice, Blogger/Social Commentator/Cartoonist Lucy Marshall has responded to the howl of the universal dog and created
The Dogophile: The Thinking Dog's Guide to Global Modern Living. Lucy is well schooled through her extensive experience in cross-cultural human relations and behavioural observation. She is multi-lingual, able to speak a couple of exotic languages, in
cluding Espaniel, which enables her to translate her vision of the world through the guidance of her British Cocker Spaniel, Baci (and others). In this age of equality Lucy is interested in exploring the relationship between woman and man's best friend, as they co-navigate the intricacies of the urban existence.
NEW YORK SOCK EXCHANGE
In honour of the founding of The New York Sock Exchange on this day in 1817 The Dogophile has dug up the following Episode 72 from “Baci’s Grand Honeymoon” :
“SOMETHING SMELLY
Scotty has been seen again in NYC. He’s reported to Red that he’s onto something very smelly indeed. He feels very close to uncovering something very big. Nothing will put him off the scent. He walks on doggedly. To be continued.”
(Oh those were the days!)
MISS FROU-FROU PRIMA DOGGY IS AT FURSAILLES.
Miss Frou-Frou Prima Doggy, Principal Ballerina of the Paris Ballet is sitting most elegantly in the wings at Palace Fursailles, waiting for her call to impress visiting ambassadogs and dognatories who are being entertained by the President of France this evening. Whilst waiting she looks curiously at all the beauty surrounding her. She wonders if every Louis XIV chair is shaped to have dogs’ legs? Ah, here is her call. She gracefully unwinds herself and borne by her Re-pet-to pale pink satin ballet slippers, leaps with exquisite precision into position.
THE SELFIE-IMPAWTENCE OF BEING EARNEST.
(I’m not sure what Oscar Wilde would think about this ….!)
THE TICK MAGNET
The Tick Magnet who naturally wears his heart on his sleeve at all times cannot fathom why no-one is sending him Valentine messages.
DOGA
A constant in Curl’s vocabulary.
Meanwhile Contessa Baci is taking a moment to relax prior to attending yet another premiere at the Venezia Film festival. Her 3pm macchiato is delicious. She has heard from Curl that Alessandro will be in from Bollywoof. This is too exciting!! She must pull another vintage Poochi creation from her closet for the evening! She takes another sip and revels in the anticipation.
THE MUTTROPOLIS VISITS THE ACROPOLIS
It’s hot. But the Muttrapolis won’t let the heat get in the way. They are up and ready for the first morning tour of The Acropolis. The dachshund twins are here from Long Island, Miss Indognito is doing her best to look indogspicuous, and if I am not mistaken, is that not Red? Why is he here? Is he solving a mystery for The A Team? Only Red knows….
🏛
In celebration of International Dogs’ Day the Barkitects of the Muttropolis (Dobermen Division) are stepping out.
Curl, finding herself in Paris, is undertaking mandatory retail therapy. Clutching her (sponsored) Furragamo handbag, she is always aware of subtle social influenza opportunities in such august surroundings.
For those of you who do not follow .ink_illustrator , you simply must! He’s a genius, based in NYC. And for those of you who didn’t know, his previous Insta account was hacked so this is Ferdinand’s new one to re-follow. Here one doggie is providing “pawsitive reinforcement” to another to get through the heat. I (naturally) think it is brilliant.
CATCHING SOCIAL INFLUENZA
Even if in the middle of nowhere, ensure you are mutticulously groomed at all times. One never knows when the Pupparazzi will pounce. (Heaven forbid, the Pupparazzi don’t pounce, ensure your selfie stick is nearby and can be thrown at you at all times).
(With apologies to photographer Henry Clarke and Vogue 1967.)
BERTIE BLOODHOUND
It’s been a very tough day at the downtown offices of the Red Cross. Bertie Bloodhound, has been supervising donations across the nation from generous dogors. Relaxing now after a warm bath, and sipping a Bloody Mary he can at long last contemplate the latest piece of delicious art he has acquired for his burgeoning collection. He draws slowly on his cigarette…..
IMUTTATION, AS YOU KNOW, IS THE MOST SINCERE FORM OF FLATTERY.
Here’s the final version!
SIR J. WEDGEWOOF
Purveyor of fine bone china.
THE HALL OF CHIEN-DELIERS
As Brand Ambassador for Furberry, Curl is taking her duties very seriously. Here she is, seen arriving at the Bastille Day celebrations at the Palace of Fursailles. Imagining how Marie Antoinmutt must have felt, she feels very special, naturally been provided with a new clutch, which she has managed to totally tailor her outfit to match. Delightfully, there is a customised pocket in it for her designer telefonino. As if on queue, it beeps……
THE DOGMOS III
With the wildly celebrated findings from the NASA Webb Telescope, Monsieur Pompadour is a little perplexed. Now he has to add 13 billion years of cosmic history contemplation to his evening muttitation ritual of staring out into the galaxy. How on earth is he supposed to relax he wonders?? He worries he just won’t be able to get through all those millenia each day. He steadies his nerves and tries to take a deep breath…. HAPPY BASTILLE DAY!!!

EMPRESS JOSEPHINE BONE-APARTE
is waiting anxiously for some news from the Chief Barkitect of the Repuplic, Monsieur Le Corpussyier about how the drawings are coming along for her new housing development. Entitled ‘The Bone-Apartments’ she feels sure the new proletaricats will all wish to buy off the plan. She just has to convince Napoleon to finance it all. The phone rings and she hears her lady-in-waiting run to answer it … She turns and tries to adopt a suitably nonchalant pose.
LE PAW DE FRANCE 2
It’s that fabulous time of the year again!
MISS JET SETTER DOES WIMBLEDOG
Having of course only packed her Jet Pet Essentials and nothing more, Miss Jet Setter is trying to be super patient. She is heading to London to take in Wimbledog but, just like every airport on this planet at the moment, it is packed to the rafters and her plane is delayed. She, naturally is exercising immense grace under this scheduling misadventure. Red the (Up)Setter has invited her to join him at this wonderful tennis championship and even promised her Strawberries and Eton Mess. She can only hope they haven’t run out by the time she gets there……. She takes a deep breath and composes herself….
The Petulant Parisian Poodle is out and about on his daily walk. He cannot help but think that Poochi Gucci is quite on trend - in fact they are matching his latest set of Parisian Active Wear. Excellent.
Intently watching the live coverage of Royal Ascot Day 4, Miss Dotty Indognito feels secretly validated. For if she is not mistaken, Princess Kate Muttleton appears to be adopting Miss Indognito’s very OWN statement look. Seen with her pawsome Regal Beagle Prince, Miss Indognito strongly believes that it will only be a matter of moments before Barkingham Pawlace royally appoints her as Style Advisor to H.R. Highness, the Princess. Yes - there it is. She turns as she hears her letter-box clang…….
