My friend Benoit Denizet-Lewiss new book Travels With Casey is hitting bookstores next week and as he embarks on his book tour he is also helping one of the people he profiles in the book which profiles this country by profiling the many people and their dogs he meets on the cross-country trip he takes with his own dog Casey. Here in this Dreamfund video, Benoit tells us of Randy Grim, who rescues the stray dogs of East St. Louis. I sing the dirty dog, the poor dog, the homeless dog, the strolling dog, the dog buffoon, the dog whose instinct, like that of the poor, the gypsy and the mountebank, is marvelously sharpened by necessity, that excellent mother, that true patron of intelligence, wrote Charles Baudelaire. I sing the distressful dogs, be they those that wander, alone, in the winding gullies of the great cities or those who have said to the forsaken man, with blinking spiritual eyes: Take me with you, and of two miseries we shall make a sort of joy!
