Twain in his comical tone describes the cruelties practised upon the animals in his time. The reader is being put in the position of a female pet dog and is experienced a 'dogly' journey with her masters. A depressing story that builds up anger inside you while reading. Sarcasms are very often, scattered here and there (the usual Twain) and it begins with a curious opening line "My father was a St. Bernard, my mother was a collie, but I am a Presbyterian". A deserving 'Overture' for a real masterpiece. Hail Mark Twain. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Et cette nouvelle est du pur Mark Twain. Corrosif, subversif, presque méchant parfois, mais tout cela à propos. Cette histoire est conté par un chien qui décrit d’abord son enfance
C’est une nouvelle qui s’interroge sur ce qu’est l’humanité, avec une plume trempée dans un acide décapant qui rend cette lecture agréable mais aussi un peu dérangeante.
