"The West Village" lyrics
(from "Heart Of A Dog" soundtrack)
Terriers are really adaptable – and very social. So Lolabelle immediately fit right in to the West Village. Within a week or two she seemed to know everyone. Kurt, who has the Austrian restaurant on the corner. Our neighbour Julian the painter, who lives across the street. And lots of people who were total strangers to us
She had a tab in several stores. And on most walks she would drop in to pick up a treat or a toy. The West Village has the highest density of dogs in the city. Lots of the dogs are chasing birds and barking at cars. But, weirdly, there are almost no collisions. Pretty much everybody manages to stay out of the way
Dogs see mostly blues and greens. Their eyesight is very blurry, and gets combined with their sense of smell. Which is hard for humans to imagine, since we lost most of our ability to navigate by smell when we began walking upright. So far from the ground
