Barking Her Way to the Top : A Collie Pursues a Career in the Civil Service

by Howard Rowland

A work of humorous fiction in which a super-intelligent collie, that understands both Russian and English, is hired by a U.S. military language institute in California as a Russian teacher, then gets promoted through the system, and ends up "top dog," in charge of the institute, and proceeds to carry out "canine-friendly" changes. The two underlying themes in the book are a satirical view of the Civil Service and military, and the relationship and communication between humans and dogs.
