Another great King read! I was really intrigued to read this one when King himself has said that he doesn't remember writing it. I only had a vague idea of the plot beforehand, but now, after reading it - it's much more than just a rabid dog. The characters are written so well that you feel like you personally know each of them, and you even get the dog's perspective, which is both frightening and devastating. I hated that I actually felt bad for this poor dog, despite the horrible things he did, and the fact that King was able to do that is nothing short of incredible. I did knock 1/4 star off simply because it is so long and there are no chapters, but other than that, it was brilliant!
