The Dog Who Spoke With Gods

By Diane Jessup

Description from Goodreads:  When Elizabeth, a young pre-med student happens upon Damien, a dog being used in laboratory research on her campus, she has no way of knowing how drastically her life – and her beliefs – will be changed. Without meaning to, she slowly becomes drawn into the dog’s fate and is soon torn between the love and respect she has come to feel for Damien and the sense of loyalty and obligation she feels for the medical profession, as well as, her father and grandfather, both cardiac surgeons.

With an uncanny ability to write convincingly about life from the point of view of a canine, Diane Jessup tells an extraordinary story of friendship and loyalty. Few writers have ever shown the world of man’s closest friend as clearly and movingly. For anyone who has ever loved a dog, this is a must read.

Viktor Hoffman set aside his binoculars with a grimace and a sigh. After hours holding still in a blind, his back was killing him. He wanted more than anything to reach over his head and have a giant stretch, but that would be seen by the dog.

The object of his attention was a brindle pit bull across the ravine. The young adult dog looked very much out of place in the thick woods; his short, cropped ears and fine coat of fur marked him as a domestic, not a wild animal. The dog was resting easily, however, as if very much at home in the evergreen forest. The very fact that the dog was a domestic animal in this wild setting was what made it of interest to the scientist.

Hoffman sighed again. Dark, very dark, clouds were gathering to the South.
