Of course for Alexis' Dogs the powers are divinely granted whereas for London's the powers are more primeval, more Mother-Natural if we will, but the comparison is still of value. Which dogs come out ahead? Survival in winter: London's would seem to do better than Alexis', although ultimately both would need humans. Ability to deal with an aggressive man: Alexis' can dodge a dog-catcher whereas London's can hide from a gun. But these are facile comparisons. The key is in the poetry; it always is. Alexis deeply wants to believe, and wants us to believe as well, that poetry gives an edge to human and canine alike. London, well, his poetry is not recited like Alexis', but rather only occasionally felt in the harmony between man, nature, and dog. Perhaps poetry is the mark of higher intellect, meaning nothing yet everything, the closest we get to the divine. London never got that far and Alexis did, so that should settle it, but in all fairness perhaps Alexis could not have gotten where he got without London in the background. Great book Andre. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Darkly brooding yet hauntingly engaging modern parable *by S***K on Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2017* The gods' wager and the book's premise - will 15 dogs die in a happy or unhappy state after having been granted human conscience and language - is haunting. Events start like rivulets, then forming into creeks as the characters and destinies of the dogs and the pack develop, to finally, with the last surviving dog, becoming a large and unfathomably wide river full of unanswered secrets and questions about what represents a good life and a good death, and what eventually remains as eternal. Pity for those who abandon the book too early upstream!Based on the premise of the wager, the book obviously has a philosophical bent, but never do the dogs in the story become mere 'canine' humans though. They retain their 'dogginess' throughout despite their ability to think rationally in human terms and to understand and speak human language. This makes their ability to reflect on the human and their own condition in an urban setting all the more alluring. A worthy modern parable for our times. ### ⭐⭐⭐ I don't get it *by J***3 on Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2018* Am I dense or...I don't know. I was intrigued enough to keep reading, but it felt overly pretentious. Or maybe it was just above me and I resented that. Was it about possessing human intelligence or was it just about death...since that's all that any of them amounted to. I still don't know what the point was and I'm sad to have read about 15 dogs dying. Now I'm uncomfortAble when my dog stares at me. I might recommend it to a friend just so I can ask them what the check does it at all mean? --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/13695677-fifteen-dogs](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/13695677-fifteen-dogs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
