Description

A Dog's LifeOnce upon a time in Provence, Peter Mayle adopted a dog of uncertain origins and dubious hunting skills and gave him a name Boy. Now he gives this canny canine a voice in an irresistible "memoir" that proves that the best vantage point for observing life may well be on all fours. As Boy recounts his progress from an overcrowded maternal bosom to unchallenged mastery of the Mayle household, he tells us why dogs are drawn to humans ("our most convenient

Once upon a time in Provence, Peter Mayle adopted a dog of uncertain origins and dubious hunting skills and gave him a name--Boy. Now he gives this canny canine a voice in an irresistible "memoir" that proves that the best vantage point for observing life may well be on all fours.

As Boy recounts his progress from an overcrowded maternal bosom to unchallenged mastery of the Mayle household, he tells us why dogs are drawn to humans ("our most convenient support system") and chickens ("that happy combination of sport and nourishment"). We share in his amorous dalliances, his run-ins with French plumbers and cats, and in the tidbits (both conversational and edible) of his owners' dinner parties. Enhanced by fifty-nine splendidly whimsical drawings by Edward Koren, A Dog's Life gives us all the delights we expect from any book by Peter Mayle--pedigree prose, biting wit, and a keen nose for the fragrance of civilization--together with the insouciant wisdom of which only a dog (and probably only Peter Mayle's dog) is capable.

Super comfortable, great quality
Size: Large, Color: (001) Black / Black / Pitch Gray
I love these socks!! They are very comfortable and my second order bc I love them so much! Also, they fit snuggly on my feet but not too tight. Best of all, they do not slide down my heels even when wearing my UGG boots.

I got these today. They fit ok. I was wanting some no show socks. These are great. You have to make sure of the size you buy. They’re durable. Comfortable. Keep moisture off your feet as much as possible. Highly recommend!
