Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

Take the true story of a small, brown, pesky but lovable mutt whose funny, frustrating and downright annoying exploits make other canine characters seem seem positively saintly. Add to the mix a "factional" account of the near-demise of a marriage seen, not through the dog's eyes exactly, but through the shifting, changing parallels between this dog's five-year life and the story of a woman's relationship to her husband. Season with the clash of cultures between this woman's English origins and the traditions of her American spouse. Stir the ingredients together in the aromatic pot that is bubbling, up-and-coming Portland, Oregon, and you begin to get the flavor of OF MUTTS AND MEN.

Superbly written book.
You can feel the anguish, the joy, the embarrasment, the sheer exuberance, and every other emotion that the family experience. This connection can only come about when a very good wordsmith pens the story.

When you read it (especially if you are/were a dog owner/lover), many times you will be transported through episodes of your own life with canine companions.

It is hard to believe that the dog exploits are absolute, and the human ones fictionalised, because reading it seems to tend toward the opposite viewpoint.

There are sections I have re-read just for the sheer enjoyment.

Well worth buying!
