Monologue Description: “GROWLING and BARKING” is a monologue about making a painful discovery.

Character Description:  Sandy embodies a hard exterior.  She’s a truck driver for a living and every part of her demeanor says she is a man, but as nature would have it, she is a woman and loves as a woman can love a man.  She is a hard lady both inwardly and outwardly.  A woman who has been through much in her life, never making it out of the trailer home life mentality.  Sandy has a good aura about her and is a caring lady, despite her rough life but she doesn’t take shit from no one.  She does enjoy hitting the bottle on occasion.  

SANDY:

He tried jumping off the Manhattan Bridge this morning.  I get a phone call, he’s all emotional and angry, I can hear the violence just pounding out of his throat.  He was getting so loud that the cops who had ‘em, kept trying to detain ‘em, until finally the phone went off.  That was the last I heard from him.  The only thing I was able to make out was his dog Roger.  He said something ’bout his dog Roger.  I assume he meant to care for the dog.  So, that’s where I’m headed.  I gotta go to Dean’s house and see what the story is with his dog.  I know where he keeps a spare key so, I’m gonna make sure Roger is fed and has fresh water.

The dog Roger was dead.  My God.  If I tell you what I saw.  Fucking wacko, Dean, if it was.  I took the key from inside the green umbrella, where he keeps his spare.  I unlocked the door, entered the house and I knew something was odd because usually whenever anybody approaches the front door, Roger is always there growling and barking.  But he wasn’t.

(pause.)

So, I’s, I’s, (clears throat) I go into the house and I call out for the dog, “ROGER, ROGER!”  No dog.  I go to the backyard, figuring maybe he was left out in the yard.  Nothing.  I call out again, “ROGER, ROGER!!”.  Still, nothing.  So, I begin getting this weird feeling, like somethings wrong.  I go back into the house and I kept calling out for Roger but no response.  I was feeling a bit thirsty and figured I’d help myself to a beer.

(beat)

When I entered the kitchen…(sighs)….when I opened the refrigerator…(sighs)….Roger was in it.  Roger was all dismantled, all, I can’t even say it…Roger was chopped up into a million pieces, blood and guts was everywhere inside this fridge.  His head, was the center of attraction.  His head was on the top shelf staring straight at me with his eyeballs bulging out of—Oh God, I ain’t never seen anything like that in all my life!!!

(3 hours later)

How can Dean do such a thing?  They aren’t even clear about whether or not it was him.  I can’t see Dean doing such a horrible thing.  He loved that dog.  Roger was more than his best friend.  Roger was like his brother in doggy form.  It was amazing.  You got a sense of one from the other.  That’s how close and similar they were in mannerisms and everything.  Strange.  I can’t bring myself to think that Dean would mutilate his brother.  It’s a sick thought.  I honestly think that someone did that to Roger and Dean flipped the fuck out, which is why he tried jumping off of the Manhattan Bridge.
