Martha Nussbaum (2006) and Sue Donaldson & Will Kymlicka (2011) have advocated for within narrative structures.

This paper investigates how Moore’s work reconfigures traditional notions of purity, pedigree, and anthropocentric hierarchy by foregrounding “mixedness” as a literary and aesthetic strategy. Drawing on theories of animal studies, hybridity, and narrative ethics, the analysis demonstrates that the anthology simultaneously (1) celebrates the lived realities of mixed‑breed dogs, (2) critiques the commodification of pedigree breeding, and (3) proposes a speculative ecology of interspecies companionship.
