![]() ![]() ![]() Plague Dogs starts off quite tearfully sad and will make you mad, but hope and love leap to the fore and it is well worth continuing. The story focuses on the dogs adventures, but underneath lies the fundamentals of animal testing, written long before the subject became widespread knowledge. Not unlike Watership Down, Richard Adams was ahead of his time in his support and affection for animals. ![]() Their escapades are nail biting, tearful and heart warming as they learn to survive on their wits and ultimately search for their lost homes. Mayhem and suspense ensues as rumours abound of plague surrounding the dogs (hence the title). The book follows two dogs, one a pet that finds himself wrongly captured and put in a research laboratory and one a crazy character who becomes his sidekick as they make their escape. I can guarantee you will be rooting aloud as the book gains momentum and suspense. A little known book (in comparison) by Richard Adams, it is one to pull the heart strings. Plague Dogs* is by the author of Watership Down. This is an animal lovers must read, particularly for you dog lovers out there. ![]()
