This article addresses questions in human geography and the geographies of sexuality by drawing upon one year of embedded in situ observations of
dogs and their human companions at three public dog parks in Portland,
Oregon. The purpose of this research is to uncover emerging themes in
human and canine interactive behavioral patterns in urban dog parks to
better understand human a-/moral decision-making in public spaces and
uncover bias and emergent assumptions around gender, race, and sexuality. Specifically, and in order of priority, I examine the following questions:
(1) How do human companions manage, contribute, and respond to violence in dogs?
(2) What issues surround queer performativity and human reaction to
homosexual sex between and among dogs? and (3) Do dogs suffer oppression based upon (perceived) gender? It concludes by applying Black feminist criminology categories through which my observations can be understood and by inferring from lessons relevant to human and dog interactions to suggest practical applications that disrupts hegemonic masculinities and improves access to emancipatory spaces.
