I am always hesitant to pick up a book without any reviews but I found myself pleased by the story I found here.  The "Dawg" in question really is a dog, but the clan is a group of friends and family who react to the growing hostility and breakdown of both the economy and civility by heading for a family retreat in the western mountains.  Some of the plot devices used, like having most of the country leaving small towns and farms for the "safety" of the cities, seemed a little too contrived, but overall the story had a depth and feeling I appreciated.  Also, the author managed to develop the main characters to a greater than expected level for a story told in the first person.  I will look for more from this author.
