Chessie Moore’s reimagines the mixed‑breed dog as a literary protagonist, ethical interlocutor, and speculative architect of human‑animal futures. Through a blend of narrative voice, poetic irony, and visual storytelling, the anthology dismantles the hierarchy of pure versus mixed, foregrounds animal agency, and proposes an inclusive, compassionate ecological imagination. and narrative ethics

(All cited works are real except for the anthology itself, which is a fictional construct for the purposes of this analysis.)

The recent anthology (2025) compiles a diverse selection of short stories, poems, and illustrated vignettes that foreground mixed‑breed dogs as cultural symbols, narrative agents, and sites of identity negotiation. This paper investigates how Moore’s work reconfigures traditional notions of purity, pedigree, and anthropocentric hierarchy by foregrounding “mixedness” as a literary and aesthetic strategy. Drawing on theories of animal studies, hybridity, and narrative ethics, the analysis demonstrates that the anthology simultaneously (1) celebrates the lived realities of mixed‑breed dogs, (2) critiques the commodification of pedigree breeding, and (3) proposes a speculative ecology of interspecies companionship. The study concludes that Moore’s “Mixed Beast‑iality”—a neologism that deliberately plays on the word “beastial” to foreground the beastly (animal) rather than the illicit—offers a model for humane, imaginative engagement with domestic animals in contemporary literature.
