Loading... Gully's Travels (edition 2008)by Tor SeidlerGulliver is a high-falutin' lhasa apso much accustomed to a refined life of premium dog food, classical music, antique furnishings and annual jaunts to Paris with his master, Professor Rattigan. But the posh life comes to a crashing end when Dr. Rattigan decides to marry a woman allergic to dogs and Gulliver is (in his mind) unceremoniously dumped with the doorman's noisy family in hardscrabble Queens. Big and small degradations transform the once snooty Gulliver into a humbled, less narrow-minded Gully. Eloquent writing and vivid characters. This reminded me of the inner transformation in "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane." Gully's the luckiest dog in the world: he has a perfect owner who lives in a fabulous apartment and who spoils Gully with yummy foods and outings in the park. But when his owner meets a woman who's allergic to dogs, the owner has to make a choice. Guess what? Gully is given away to another family. Will he be able to escape? Will he end up even trying? |
