One who has faced the evil that lurks in darkness comes to cherish the gentle grace of moonlight... Innocent mistake unravels dark secrets and divine deceptions among people of faith. In the early morning of the month of May, 1952, the African sun blazed with its usual intensity as the missionaries arrived, their presence met with warm, curious hospitality. They approached the local customs with sensitivity and humility, navigating the complex introduction of a foreign deity to the native people. The serene community's peace was soon disrupted by an unexpected event—the mysterious disappearance of Collar, the Vicar’s wife’s beloved Chihuahua.

The Vicar’s Dog is a satirical exploration of the intricate dynamics between an African settlement and the influence of foreign religions, when a single act of youthful folly ignites a cascade of revelations and consequences.
