The Dog Thief and Other Stories by Jill Kearney – Review by Piper Foster

The Dog Thief and Other Stories by Jill Kearney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a book full of short stories and clearly shows the love of animals you can tell these are drawn from experience when reading. This is set in rural America. There is a melancholic feel to most of the stories, with recurring themes of death and long-suffering dogs, but I thoroughly enjoyed the whole book. It makes us aware that domesticated animals have a life and personality of their own and are not just there to fulfil a selfish purpose on the part of their owners. In our daily lives we tend to overlook – by preference or disinterest – a shadowy side of our own society … the abuse of animals. This can be a hard read but says alot about some animals reality.
