Description

This zine, created by Michael James Ash, describes the caretaker's experiences in dog sitting.

The submitters provided the following about the artifact's history: The zine was left on the table in my house when I returned home from the trip. While I was away, I often texted Michael to check on the status of
Gatsby. Probably a little annoyed my that, Michael decided to create what he described as a report card for Gatsby while I was away.
