The Bar Sinister (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

By Richard Davis

The inspiration for the 1955 film It’s a Dog’s Life, The Bar Sinister is the story of a scrappy bull-terrier named Kid. After discovering his royal bloodline, he embarks on a rags-to-riches adventure seeking fame, fortune, and a place to call home. Rounded out by a colorful cast of canine and human characters, the book is howling good fun.
