I was less than happy with this book. The idea was great and the plot wasn't bad either. What I found really disappointing was the "dogs." Sadly, they bore no resemblance to dogs. In fact, the only non-human characteristic they displayed was a keen sense of smell. Otherwise, dogs with the dexterity to sew costumes and drive cars and who regularly high-five other dogs could just as easily have been quirky humans. In other words, there simply was no reason for these characters to be dogs. Perhaps a re-write to "dogify" them would help.Other problems: I fail to see how someone (human or dog) can be hurt if they are already dead. This was not my favorite dog story.
