Book Description

The dog did not understand when his people left him behind in the cold and the rain. He did not understand when the sound of gunshots echoed through the air. And he did not understand when the things came into his yard. Things that moved and moaned, and smelled very very dead.
With all he has ever known in tatters the dog is forced to forge ahead into an uncertain world where the dead-things roam and danger lurks at every turn. All he has to his credit is a keen nose and an unswerving devotion to the girl who rescued him.
Together these two innocents will risk everything for each other in a world where evil reigns supreme.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dog loves Girl May 3, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a book about a dog. And his love for a girl. And their fight against zombies. This story is exactly what I want out of a book. Beautiful prose, a unique voice, and characters that reach out and grab your heart. It's a page turner, excitement and suspense on every page. HIGHLY recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great short story June 5, 2011
What a really interesting way to tell a zombie story. Completely from a dog's perspective - a dog that doesn't really understand what humans are saying. This was a really well paced, fast moving story that I enjoyed quite a bit. If Albert Berg ever decides to make it longer, I'm in for reading a longer version :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique Zombie Debut May 10, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I thoroughly enjoyed this short story, and gave it 5 stars for the unique POV alone. The tale is as charming and suspenseful as the book cover. It has lot of zombie violence, of course, but I'd say it's suitable for those 13 and up. It's a very easy read, and a must-read for zombie fans. I also recommend this one for dog lovers, and those wanting a refreshing perspective. I eagerly anticipate more from this author.
