    Canine Complaints

    By Arthur Dogson Todd and Louise DeVito

    About this ebook

    An energetic pup of three months arrives at Misty Meadows Farm from a rescuer’s home in rural Tennessee to begin his life with Mr. Cliff and O’mamma Todd. “Pure Pup”, his self-assigned name, is changed immediately to Arthur Dogson Todd by Mr. Cliff.

    As Arthur encounters seemingly innocuous social mores of modern society, he’s suspicious. His focus becomes perceived surreptitious assaults on the dignity and freedom of naïve beings. Stunningly keen insights fuel outrage and his resolve to fight. Mantras, poems, and comedic word battles encourage his confidence.

    Through therapeutic naps, Arthur elevates his self-image to that of a Dominant Force for the Good of All Beings. In that mindset, he brings the rooster to Court on a Stand-Your-Ground case and assists Mother Nature with the survival of a species.

    Arthur’s stories are replete with wit, wisdom, word play, comebacks, quotable quotes, and vivid, lively images of internal and external battles.

      I’ve worked it out. I’ve worked out the reason for the parlous state of the world. It’s cats. Hear me out. I love cats. But they’re the source of all evil. I didn’t always think like this. And I still love them, which speaks volumes about me, I dares

      In 2016 my partner and I bought a wooden cottage on 10 acres of land, on an ecotone where the woodlands meet the foothills of the mountains. The area had been logged relentlessly in the 1950s. One by one, the tall trees of the old growth cedar forest
