Sight Hound
Sight Hound
Author: Pam Houston
Desc: This is the story of a woman Rae and her dog Dante a wolfhound who teaches "his human" that love is stronger than fear (the dog has always known this). Dante is the catalyst for change in other characters as well and they step forward with their narratives: Rae's house-tender; her therapist; two veterinarians; and an anxiety-ridden actor Howard who turns out to be as stalwart as Dante himself. As the "seer" who hunts by sight rather than smell Dante has some things to add as does Rose another dog who lives at Rae's heels and Stanley the cat. Among and above these myriad voices Rae voices her own challenges. With the wit and dead-on candor we've come to expect from Pam Houston Sight Hound unfolds a story that illuminates the intangible covenant between loved ones. Here dogs and humans are simply equal creatures looking to connect and holding on for dear life when they do.
