Enhanced by fifty-nine splendidly whimsical drawings by Edward Koren, A Dog's Life gives us all the delights we expect from any book by Peter Mayle-pedigree prose, biting wit, and a keen nose for the fragrance of civilization-together with the insouciant wisdom of which only a dog (and probably only Peter Mayle's dog) is capable. A Dogs Life Mayle, Peter Published by Penguin Books, Limited, 1995 ISBN 10: 0241134684 ISBN 13: 9780241134689 Seller: Better World Books, Mishawaka, U.S.A. We share in his amorous dalliances, his run-ins with French plumbers and cats, and in the tidbits (both conversational and edible) of his owners' dinner parties. As Boy recounts his progress from an overcrowded maternal bosom to unchallenged mastery of the Mayle household, he tells us why dogs are drawn to humans ("our most convenient support system") and chickens ("that happy combination of sport and nourishment"). Now he gives this canny canine a voice in an irresistible "memoir" that proves that the best vantage point for observing life may well be on all fours.
