Product Description
Cats, Prats and the Human Wolf Dog is a story written through the eyes of an arrogant border collie puppy that thinks it is human, giving a unique insight into to what a pet really thinks about its owners and the world it lives in.
Wolfie Burrows has just been born a border-collie, and duly deposited in a pet shop. The problem is, Wolfie does not think he's a dog. How could he? All intelligent creatures are human, and he's certain he is too. Not the sub-human version of the species, the ones he has to live with every day, the idiots who stumble through life on little to no intelligence. He is part of the elite, the real ones he's never seen, the 'owners' the other dogs bark about. He cannot understand why the world has wronged him - everything is always someone else's fault - and why he's been left in such horrible and inadequate surroundings. It's a dire mistake, a mistake Wolfie is sure someone will have to pay a heavy price for. He deserves much better. He's determined to be proactive and makes changes, and when change happens, it's not what Wolfie expects. It never is.
What with sub-humans and their silly sound competitions, food rooms, cats, talking dogs, wheel rooms breathing like a lion roars, and quite a few mistake accidents, life does not turn out like he's planned. Nothing does. Maybe he's too intelligent. No one can understand his eloquent language, floors refuse to be walked on, and doors are very stubborn and claw-proof. Throw in an abduction, a new family of sub-humans that do not realise they're his servants, and Wolfie has many challenges to overcome.
Not that he worries. You don't when you know you're always right. He's too smart for it to last forever, and none of it is his fault. It's the world that is wrong. The one persistent nag that keeps troubling Wolfie is that every dog he meets, and he's forced to meet quite a few, they all insist he's a dog. And a cat agrees.They can't all be wrong, can they...?
