With animal studies and post-humanism we notice and value the importance of animals in our life learning to take them seriously as a significant part of our ecosystem. We also try to teach children about the importance of animals in our ecosystem and eradicate any hierarchical relationships toward them. Children's Literature (capping intentional) can aid this process since so many picturebooks novels and other texts written for children and young adults have animals as main characters or focalizers. Therefore ecocriticism complements the study of animal characters in Children's Literature. However in the case of dogs in Iran in primary sources or school textbooks published for Iranian children this is rarely possible. The problem is that based on the Islamic doctrine that dogs are "impure" if one is a faithful believer one is not supposed to keep them inside the house. So based on this hierarchical ideology books with dog characters as pets living indoors are censored. This article discusses the treatment of dogs over the centuries in Iran. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
