One Paw in the Grave – Volume Eight The master storyteller behind the genre-bending Spot and Smudge series offers up this collection of wonderfully twisted dog-themed short stories. Meet a tenacious canine with clockwork parts, and a man who will do whatever it takes to land his dream job, Run the wildest race ever with a tough dog and his smoke-belching nemesis, and hope a latchkey pup makes a new friend, even if that friend is a little strange. Travel back to the great flood, where dogs are wondering how they'll fit in after the waters recede, and forward to a scientist using dogs to advance his questionable research. There's animated dogs, and ghost hunting dogs, and a litter who have an extremely strong connection to one another. And woven throughout all of these extraordinary tales is one irrefutable truth... We all have One Paw in the Grave Praise for the One Paw in the Grave series: "Udulutch does it again! The same great bite and insight as Spot and Smudge with an endless variety of dogs and humans, and not dogs and not humans” Itercpt Book Club "Great fun! Runs around the bases of all the best genres with a fresh spin on every one" Bill C. "As always, a wicked twisted ride of creative doggie madness!" Five Square Corner "Good dogs, bad dogs, great dogs, evil dogs, smart dogs, mad dogs, crazy dogs, funny dogs, incredible dogs, preposterous dogs…and a bunch of equally awesome people…what more could you want?!” Sarah D. "Another perfectly good week chewed up by a jaw-dropping, fist-pumping, emotionally-charged, mood lifting, oh hell yeah Robert Udulutch series" Michaela P. "This guy is disturbed, thank Dog." Haley W.
