Stories with animals as protagonists. Beyond George Orwell's predilection, evident in works such as Rebelion on the farm, recent authors raise total prominence to the companion animals par excellence, the dogs.
Laurent Watt awakened our most tender instincts for these faithful and loyal animals in their history Beyond the words, a journey towards the dreams to fulfill of an animal with little time to live.
And now we come to Sirius, the protagonist of this plot that, although it drifts towards very different developments from what was mentioned above, it serves again for that dignity of the dog, its intelligence and its tireless service.
But Sirius is something more, it is about a dog that was about to turn the History of the world around, or at least in this suggestive fiction that spins humor with some tragic moments in History.
The little dog in question manages to escape from Nazi Germany, surviving the night of the broken glass with his family. The United States becomes his host country and there Sirius fits perfectly into that kind of open society. His extraordinary abilities to learn and execute all kinds of exercises lead him to rub shoulders (or rather to kick himself) with the best of the show business of the moment.
But as his days of glory fade, Sirius finds himself back in Germany, stripped of his family and this time taken in by a Nazi home. The animal feels, remembers, knows that things are not right in that dark place
It is then when Sirius' faculties will give him the opportunity to cause a change, to try to perform spy duties given his closeness to Hitler.
A brilliant development, a suggestive customization that seems to convince you that Sirius really was about to change the world. It's about literature and its magic ...
