This was the first Arabic book I read, with the help of the accompanying English translation.
The book is in two parts. The first part condemns humans for their cowardice, greed and disloyalty. The second commends dogs for their bravery, selflessness and loyalty.
The author quotes poets and relates stories to support these contentions.
The editor/translator includes an introduction on the author and a discussion of Muslim religious rulings and attitudes regarding dogs.
