"I ask yourself," said Hermes, "what it might be like if family pets had human intelligence." "I'll bet a year's servitude," clarified Apollo, "that family pets - any pet animal you prefer - would be even more disappointed than humans are if indeed they were given real human intelligence." And so it begins: a bet between your gods Hermes and Apollo leads these to grant human consciousness and terms to a group of puppies overnighting at a Toronto veterinary center. Suddenly capable of more technical thought, the load up is torn between those who withstand the new means of thinking, preferring the old dog ways, and those who adopt the change. The gods watch from above as the puppies venture into their newly unfamiliar world, as they become divided among themselves, as each struggles with new thoughts and emotions. Wily Benjy steps from your home to home, Prince becomes a poet, and Majnoun forges a romance with a sort couple that stops even the Fates in their paths. André Alexis' modern-day undertake the apologue offers an utterly compelling and affecting go through the beauty and perils of real human consciousness. By turns meditative and destructive, charming and strange, Fifteen Pet dogs shows you can teach a vintage genre new tricks.
