It was a fun read and I took three days to complete reading the book, and would have actually finished it in one sitting as I did not want to put it down, but life intervenes. Being a lover of verse, I was happy to see Lord George Gordon Byron’s ‘Epitaph to a Dog’ included. This heartfelt tribute is a gem and all dog lovers will agree that every word is true. Part of this epitaph reads: “But the poor Dog, in life the firmest friend, The first to welcome, foremost to defend, Whose honest heart is still his Master’s own…” El libro comienza con los pensamientos que tiene el perro ante el entorno que lo rodea, su encuentros con Transfíguriev hasta enlazar con la narración ya en tercera persona de los sucesos fantásticos que vivirán los personajes.
