Fifteen Dogs by André Alexis

emotional reflective medium-paced

4.25

A couple of Greek gods give 15 dogs human consciousness for a bet, and what results is a fascinating exploration of social constructs, the essence of dog, and the human faults that lead to the dogs' demise. Some get written off quickly, while others we get to follow and become emotionally attached to.
