Description
'The Dog Who Wouldn't Be was, and will forever remain, one of my first and deepest literary
loves. When I first read it as a child, it became my 'gateway book' to Farley Mowat's other great
works, books which inspired me throughout my life. Re-reading it as an adult, in this beautiful
edition, I fell in love all over again with the eccentric and talented Mutt, with Farley's boyhood
adventures, with the wild Saskatoon prairie. This classic remains one of the best biographies of an
animal ever written--a masterful tribute to the bond between an extraordinary boy and an
extraordinary dog.' --Sy Montgomery, author of Tamed and Untamed: Close Encounters of the
Animal KindA deftly crafted memoir that still proves after the passage of 50 years to be an
inherently fascinating and memorable read from cover to cover. --Midwest Book Read more Mowat
and his family moved to Saskatoon in 1929. His father had (for reasons never completely
explained) taken the position of librarian in this remote Canadian frontier town on the edge of a
prairie enduring the ravages of the dust bowl, and set smack in a landscape 'that appeared to be in
the last stages of dry rot.' The journey was trying for his mother, but for Farley it was 'a land
foreign to all my imagination, and one that offered limitless possibilities for new kinds of adventure.'
One adventure arrived at their doorstep that summer in the form of a black and white mongrel,
snapped up for four cents by his enterprising and frugal mother, and was quickly named by Farley,
to his father's chagrin, 'Mutt.' Mutt turned out to be a game changer, a dog of formidable character.
He not only possessed extraordinary skills as a retriever (once going so far as to retrieve a
plucked and trussed ruffed grouse from the grocer), but was a determined cat-hater, skunk-baiter,
and ladder-scaler. He was, in short, the perfect companion for a boy with a fertile imagination and
a preternatural way with words. Read more See all Editorial Reviews
