Unnatural Selection (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781764290500)

Meet Teddy, a dog who hasn't understood the assignment.

Instead of digging holes and fetching sticks, he prefers the trappings of humanity-a species he's convinced, against all biological evidence, includes himself.

But when his doting owner Maggie vanishes, leaving Teddy in the care of her suspected captor, his pampered existence descends into a nightmare.

Determined to find Maggie, Teddy starts investigating, only to unearth a bunch of questions about his own identity: Why does rain terrify him? What's with needing to be called a "good boy" every five seconds? Does he really like puppacinos, or has he just been conditioned to think he does?

A brilliantly funny identity crisis told by literature's most delusional narrator, Unnatural Selection skewers our modern obsession with treating pets like people with heart, humor and wickedly clever insight.
