Rendition During Books The Plague Dogs

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.

Commentary Regarding Books The Plague Dogs

I have to disagree with the reviewer who says this is not realistic. I worked in a government lab in California only 2 years ago. Things have *not* changed. There are simply more organizations and welfare groups that have no actual say in day to day operations of labs. It's up to researchers and workers to follow the rules daily, and they always know when the inspections will happen.Also, animal labs do use and buy animals from shelters for experiments. Back in 2006 for sure, Ingham County

The Plague DogsI honestly do not know if I should recommend this book or warn people off of it. It is a good book but any violence towards dogs, pets in general rubs me the wrong way and this degree of neglect, torture in the name of science etc is extreme. Note, the true message is awesome. The writing is superb, I have seldom disliked so many characters so violently!The plot line is intricate and flawless. But....the poor puppies. Even the rats got to me and trust me, rats, spiders, mice etc

Gruelling fantasy with a serious underlying message.

It's not that this isn't a well written, thought provoking book. It is both of those things. It just isn't the kind of book that I like to read, because it's just too...sad. Too painful. Too much for me, with my delicate sensibilities. It is, in fact, quite a good book. If you like Richard Adams, or if you do not like animal testing and are looking to get emotionally charged up about it, this would be a good book to read. If you are extremely sensitive about unreasonable abuse/violence to

Adams breaks many a literary rule in this glorious chase across the English Lake District. Many a nugget for students of literary and art history. Far superior to the deservedly famous rabbit book.

I hated this book. I will never read it again, ever, as long as I live. And it absolutely deserves five stars.The Plague Dogs is one of the most visceral, wrenching, emotional reads you'll ever find. It follows the fortunes of two dogs, Snitter and Rowf, who escape from a medical testing lab. In an attempt to cover up the unnecessary nature of the research done there, the humans running the lab start a media scare about the dogs, claiming that they carry a serious virus which may kill humans.
