Fifteen Dogs

Book • 2015
In 'Fifteen Dogs', André Alexis crafts a thought-provoking tale that begins with a wager between the gods Apollo and Hermes.

They grant human intelligence to a group of dogs at a Toronto veterinary clinic, leading to a complex exploration of consciousness, language, and societal structures.

The novel delves into themes of individuality, power, and mortality as the dogs form their own society in High Park.
