a perfect book for dog lovers, Akira Mizubayashi in a subtle and elegant language analysis meeting then his life with his Melody bitch. We are far from commonplace on the relationship between man and dog that disfigure or even ridicule too often this complex alchemy that makes the couple "man-dog" a particular entity as the author describes remarkably. I have rarely seen so many express relevance and talent all that binds me to my own canine companion.
