I'm amused and annoyed that the same people who love reading about vampires, spaceships and alternate universes have their panties in a twist because of a hero dog that is as smart as a human. Get over it, realists, this is fantasy albeit there's still enough realism in it to go around.Magic, the protagonist, is a Golden Retriever whose intelligence is the outcome of a cruel cycle of experiments, but remains a dog. Wandering through war torn Iraq he is treated kindly by a US soldier, who wins his heart. Brought back to the US, Magic and his person get involved in a mass of terrorism, government corruption, greed and just plain evil that almost ends with his person in jail for life and Magic dead. But Magic prevails. And remains a dog! The book is a must for dog lovers and recommended for all mystery lovers. But perhaps it is not the best book for people lacking in imagination.....
