First Edition. Uncorrected Proof. Signed.

Fine in decorated wrappers. Seems unread.

Watson, in precise and beautiful prose, writes about people and dogs--dogs as companions, as accomplices, and as unwitting victims of human passions--and people responding to dogs as missing parts or reflections of themselves. In each of these stories he captures the animal crannies of the human personality--yearning for freedom and mourning the loss of something wild.
