Show statement-

Man’s Best Friend explores the meaning of the ubiquitous phrase through several lenses, of a canine best friend, of an automotive best friend, and a human’s best friend. Most can relate to the phrase through a relationship with a dog and rightfully so. A dog will stay by your side, through thick and thin, providing nothing but love and comfort. But what happens when the inevitability of time takes that friend away? Where does that energy go?

To another dog perhaps, but there are other friends to be had. An old truck functions much the same as the dog, being by your side (literally surrounding you) and as long as you nurture and maintain it, it provides a lot of love and comfort as well. Through hard work, trucks connect communities beyond any location or ideology with other people, fostering human connections that may not have existed otherwise. 

Man’s Best Friend is a celebration of riding in a truck with your dog and best friend. A drive that’s a little slower, a ride on which you stop to smell the flowers or check out the old signage. Here’s to lots of those drives ahead.
