One Paw in the Grave - Volume Four
One Paw in the Grave – Volume Four
The master storyteller behind the genre-bending Spot and Smudge series offers up this collection of wonderfully twisted dog-themed short stories.
Meet a king who has to trust the fate of his kingdom to the castle’s puppies, and a robot dog who unfortunately follows orders, and a reclusive CEO no one has ever seen for a very good reason.
Travel back to the War of 1812, where privateers wage war on the high seas with their unique shipmates, and forward to a dog who watches the suspicious neighbors, and along the way meet an old biker and his scruffy dog who can’t help getting into trouble, and a grandmother who doesn’t want the family to see their DNA test, and a veterinarian who saves more than her patients. There’s also a Nazi, and a shapeshifter, and a few zombies who are much more than just dead.
And woven throughout all of these extraordinary tales is one irrefutable truth...

Yeah, I've got some stories...and maybe a few issues.

I'm racing through these books and am looking forward to reading Volume Five. The stories continue to be excellent and I am in awe of Mr Udulutch's imagination. The typos and grammatical errors seem to be lessening as well, which is good, but he really needs to master the apostrophe! However, that said I would definitely recommend these books to anyone. When I've read these I'm going to read his Spot and Smudge books; the only reason I haven't is that I found One Paw in the Grave Volume One on Facebook first. Onward and upward!

Another awesome set of short stories
This is another one of Robert Udulutch's gifts of good, fun and quirky stories. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get on to #5.
