Description: [This novel is] theoretically from the point of view of a spaniel (dog) who moves about England being exchanged from owner to owner. His voice is lacking, however, and readers are left with social commentary and satire on the part of Coventry as well as lengthy ramblings seemingly from his point of view about English society and novels in general. --Lindsey at www.goodreads.com.
