Sumario:	A literary criticism of the novel "Flush: A Biography" by Virginia Woolf is presented. It cites studies that focus on Woolf's anthropomorphizing of poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning's dog and a critique of Victorian mores as the work's principal tropes. It shows complex human-animal relationships from an existential canine viewpoint, and how Woolf strives to replicate a dog's consciousness to provide a view of the nonhuman animal for its own sake.
