Sirius is Thomas Trelone¿s great experiment - a huge, handsome dog with the brain and intelligence of a human being. Raised and educated in Trelone¿s own family alongside Plaxy, his youngest daughter, Sirius is a truly remarkable and gifted creature. His relationship with the Trelones, particularly with Plaxy, is deep and close, and his inquiring mind ranges across the spectrum of human knowledge and experience. But Sirius isn¿t human and the conflicts and inner turmoil that torture him cannot be resolved.

Whilst I wouldn't say this was the most enjoyable book to read, it is one that should be read. Review to come shortly.

Another fantastic adventure by Stapledon. Much like Star Maker, the reader is taken on the journey through one life. Sirius explores a host of interesting themes as he tries to find meaning in his unique, canine life: family, love, lust, nature, work, existentialism, friendship
