The truth is that can't go long without writing about some bug, if possible four-legged and species canis vulgaris. But I must also confess my sympathy for the felis catus, of which I admire its independence and its magical and mysterious halo. In my family there has been everything. Cats Blondes, blacks, and stripes strolled through the gallery or patio of my grandparents' house. And we have had Dogs (one hundred percent white label) since I can remember.
The last three who have lived together have been two pooches and a siamese cat. Only one left: Cuco, a Pekingese mestizo who has passed the doggy century and 16 human years. Knob, the lost Siamese that my aunt found, also reached 16 summers, but cast off almost four years ago. A little bit after he did too Chiqui, a small and smart winemaker like no one, who arrived at 15. This article is dedicated to them. They can change your life and they certainly make it better for you. Perhaps one day I will novel their stories. At the moment I recommend these 4 from other protagonists.
Three of these titles are signed by British authors because if there is one nationality that writes about dogs and, especially, about cats, it is that of the sons of Albion.
