“Doggy Rugburn” is a parallel world that resembles ours, but where time is elongated and stretched out. It’s inhabited by a group of beings called “rugburners” that have the ability to shape shift using their eccentric bodies. Just like us they are obsessed with the desire to have as much as possible and struggle the never-ending fight for territory.
