This exhibition is part of Oh, Canada: Contemporary Art from North North America. Visit the fourth floor to see the rest of the exhibition.
There is always hope for any hot dog who has been rescued or who has escaped from a restaurant, diner, grocery store, refrigerator, kitchen counter, or right off a dinner plate.
We always hope for a full recovery despite injuries or psychological trauma. With rest and rehabilitation the hot dogs can be returned to the fields where the fresh grasses wait for them. There, they will live in peace, unharmed.
“We never give up.”
