A Dog's Tale by Mark Twain

4.0

Leave it to Mark Twain. Suck me into a story called A Dog’s Tale. Get me well-and-true into the dog’s viewpoint and feeling the joy of puppyhood and then the pain of leaving mother. Then there’s the joy again: family found! Romp, romp, romp … BAM! Did Twain make me forget of the often-occurrence of a story featuring a dog? Oh, he sure did. Did I shake my fist in the air and say “How could you suck me in like that and then do THAT?” Yes, I did. Did I then go “Damn it … he’s good.” Yes, I did.

This was a quick story (21 minutes on audio) that intimately conveyed a dog’s life. The good, the bad, the ugly. You are warned – but it was a tremendously powerful tale.
