In Putting on the Dog (Trinity University), Melissa Kwasny explores the age-old relationship between humans and the animals that have provided us with our clothing. Kwasny travels the globe to visit both large-scale industrial manufacturers and community-based, often subsistence production by people who have spent their lives working with animals. She examines historical rates of consumption and efforts to move toward sustainability, all while considering animal welfare, worker safety, environmental health, and respect for indigenous knowledge and practice.
