Space dog - breath fast and shallow, then hold your breath and let someone choke you until you faint. This is a popular game among children, as we learn from the protagonist of Space Dog. He stopped playing it himself after it went wrong for two friends of his. He now prefers football, hanging around the neighborhood, sometimes setting fire to something or ringing random doorbells. All this changes when he falls for an older girl. She is not interested, she tells the interviewer on a park bench, in the arms of another. In the meantime, the boy discovers that the brief hallucination ‘space dog’ causes gives him the sensation the girl will not.
