We all need innovative ideas - das meint zumindest der Trainer in der Geschichte "English for dogs". Und während Christina in "Restaurant" über ein ganz spezielles Etablissement staunt, blamieren die vierbeinigen Hauptdarsteller in "Flirtcrasher" ihre Zweibeiner bis auf die Knochen. Was wir mit unseren Hunden erleben und wie wir von ihnen noch das eine oder andere lernen können, wird in acht herrlichen Kurzgeschichten im ersten Bellotristik-Sammelband "Learning by DOGing" treffend beschrieben.

When Black Beauty is trained to carry a rider on his back, or to pull a carriage behind him, he finds it hard at first. But he is lucky - his first home is a good one, where his owners are kind people, who would never be cruel to a horse. But in the 19th century many people were cruel to their horses, whipping them and beating them, and using them like machines until they dropped dead. Black Beauty soon finds this out, and as he describes his life, he has many terrible stories to tell.
