"The Dog of Action vs. Love Advice and Other Funny Stories. (Take a Break & Have a Laugh Series.)" by Oleg Medvedkov is a short but very amusing collection of short stories, and, as the title suggests, features several episodes with a dog of action (either on the radio or on the phone).The stories are often absurd, like a coin toss with a bunch of trolls, love advice on a helpline for dogs or a meeting of minds with some bazooka waving mob.There are a lot of hilarious one liners, some great bizarre situations and many minor details that made me smile and enjoy this strange collection.I am a big fan of Eugene Ionesco and his absurd humour and I found Medvedkov stepping in his footsteps. Maybe on a less dramatic scale but enough to lull me into the read and enjoy.
