“Dogs are our link to
paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on
a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing
was not boring--it was peace.”
― Milan Kundera
‘Travels of my dogs’ is a
wonderful dedication to all the dog lovers indeed. The author’s unequivocal
love for his dog, Ginger, has been portrayed beautifully. The book is divided
into many components like biography, memoirs, poems, elegy, pictures and some
facts. The news report about the conduct of dogs and their relationship with
humans, take the wheels of this book forward. The author then describes about
the sequence of events that led to the entry of Ginger in his family.
The positive thing about
this book is that it belongs to a completely different category of biographical
literature. Seldom does anybody chose an animal or an object as the central
theme of a book. The book is a quick read and is interesting. The language
used, is very simple and touches one’s heart. The content forces the readers to
relate it with their own experiences and understand the intensity of emotional
turmoil the author would have gone through when he had lost his beloved pet.
The rhyme scheme followed in
all the poems and elegies is ABBC. The text has been kept to the point. But the
only thing that was probably not required to be included was the certificates
and the Doctor’s prescriptions. The cover of the book could have been made
better and more attractive.
Overall, a nice book with a
subtle and unique theme.
