A Dog's Tale is a short story, told from the standpoint of a loyal household pet, written by Mark Twain. It first appeared in the December 1903 issue of Harper's magazine. In January of the following year it was extracted into a stand-alone pamphlet published for the National Anti-Vivisection Society. Still later in 1904, it was expanded into a book. Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 - April 21, 1910), better known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American humorist, satirist, lecturer and writer. Twain is most noted for his novels Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which has since been called the Great American Novel, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He is also known for his quotations. During his lifetime, Twain became a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists and European royalty. Lyssa Browne started performing in theatre when she was very young. After receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre and Dance she moved to Seattle where she has performed in many area theatre companies. Lyssa's voice can be heard as many different characters in Nintendo and X-Box games, as well as the narrator of documentaries for the Discovery Channel and others.

Mais où donc ai-je entendu parler de ce livre ? Je ne sais plus, mais il était sur ma liseuse parmi les cent livres gratuits pré-téléchargés, et je me suis dit qu’un petit Mark Twain de temps en temps ça ne ferait pas de mal.
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, avec une mère qui se prend un peu pour une humaine et dont il voit le ridicule sans se l’avouer à lui-même, puis la maison de ses nouveaux maîtres, dont le père scientifique respectable se révèle finalement sans cœur et d’une belle cruauté.
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.

Wonderful story but sad, depressing and leaves an animal lover feeling deflated and hurt.

I suppose it was written to give that strong punch required to wake up mankind and its horrible treatment of animals.

Man's inhumanity to man, and to all other living creatures - we've much to answer for. ( )

A brilliant piece of writing! 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. ( )
