Publisher's Summary
Richard Adams, the author of Watership Down, creates a lyrical and engrossing tale, a remarkable journey into the hearts and minds of two canine heroes, Snitter and Rowf. After being horribly mistreated at a government animal-research facility, Snitter and Rowf escape into the isolation - and terror - of the wilderness. Aided only by a fox they call "the tod", the two dogs must struggle to survive in their new environment. When the starving dogs attack some sheep, they are labeled ferocious, man-eating monsters, setting off a great dog hunt that is later intensified by the fear that the dogs could be carriers of the bubonic plague.

Gut wrenchingly sad & beautifully written
The writing is very reminiscent of the 70s - challenging traditions. As an audio book the 'stream of consciousness' stuff worked well & didn't go on so long as to be annoying. The narrator did an excellent job of switching accents & voices which made it easier to follow.
The book in some ways reminded me of Catch-22 & Animal Farm - both in style and as a metaphor. And of course Watership Down.
It was hard, even brutal, to listen to at times. Sad and moving and frustrating and comedic all at once. But always touching. It's a book you'll either love or hate. I loved it.
