What a beautiful little book! A really nice take about a man and his animals. The visuals Bruce conjures puts you right in the mountainous bush.

Beautiful and charming story which you can read as literally or as deeply as you like. Full of gentle humanism and an evocative portrayal of living on Country. I loved it.

This was sweet and surprisingly sad.
I loved Fog, what a sweet little creature. The best part of this book was the descriptions of the way humans love animals. As a dog person I was thoroughly swooning over the love these characters had for their animals.
There was an interesting discussion about racism. Foxes are called the enemy because they are different, just as POC are. It was interesting that that discussion was in this simple story.
Bruce Pascoe is a great writer and I enjoyed all the little Aussie words in this book.

Another novella but another one that I really enjoyed.
It was a generally heart-warming, sweet story about love and acceptance. I did find that it was a bit slow and boring in places but, as it was very short, I made my way through it very easily.

A cute little story build around a bushman and his dox Fog - a fox that grew up thinking he was a dog. Just like this word play, "Fog a Dox" combines a multi-layered story effortlessly incorporating Indigenous heritage with beautiful insight into dogs, foxes, men and nature. (And they mentioned a wombat - I love wombats.)
