Inspired by the Dog Catcher Riots that followed a law that was passed in New York which made it illegal for dogs to roam the city without being leashed

To implement this law, the city sent teams of dog catchers to the streets to capture all the strays

However, many people did not agree with this law, and so there was a small spurt of riots with people trying keep the dogs from being caught

The story is told in two parts, the first part from the captive's point of view and the second from the captors ...

In Part One, a put'upon family is run from their home by a settlement of people

In Part Two, a settlement of people get a surprise guest while trying to run a put'upon family from their home
