"I started Early—took my Dog—"
-Emily Dickinson

The goal of O, My Animals is to enlist our well-loved companions, the dogs, as purveyors of poetry. At several events and venues during the month of April, including "Poetry in the Park" and "Dogleggers Mobile Library," O, Miamians hands out Poetry Dog Scarves for dogs of all sizes.

The bandanas, each of which carries a dog-friendly line of poetry by Emily Dickinsin, are also distributed to participating dog grooming businesses in Miami. All Poetry Dog Bandanas are free, but we suggest you deepen your interaction with the project by donating to a no-kill dog rescue shelter.

Start Early. Bring Your Dog. Celebrate Poetry.
