Well, I have rather mixed feelings about this book. I always enjoy a good dog book - and this one certainly had points that were good, but I was a bit bogged down by the style. It was overly wordy, had few enjoyable characters and had no women to speak of. The premise was quite interesting and I would have liked it more had it been executed in a different way. Really, the ending was the entire book's saving grace. It reminded me a lot of Diane Jessup's _The Dog Who Spoke With The Gods_. It most certainly shared the theme of depicting animal cruelty - though they both went about it in a different way.
Snitter's madness was an interesting aspect too.
