Experiencing Interruptions?

Killing Dogs with Passion

Arthur has secluded himself from society and expresses his disgust for human society by killing dogs which to him are the result of torture and mutilation in order to create total social dependence. One of his only social interactions is the school boy Will who is tutored by Arthur and feels abandoned and terrorized by school, especially his english teacher Mr. Roy. While Arthur struggles to teach Will mental independence, he himself gets caught in the social tanglings of society when he falls in love with the underaged Audrey.
