Abstract

This ethnographic study examines the dog catcher in regard to work duties and role performances inherent in the occupation. Meanings associated with the occupation are considered in the light of the Sociology of Occupations. Dogcatchers were found to have devised mechanisms to subtly “get back at” an unappreciative public, behaviors which appear similar to those found in other low status or status inconsistent occupations.
