Belka, Why Don’t You Bark? begins in 1943, when Japanese troops retreat from the Aleutian island of Kiska, leaving four military dogs behind. One of them dies in isolation, and the others are taken under the protection of U.S. troops. Meanwhile, in the USSR, a KGB military dog handler kidnaps the daughter of a Japanese yakuza. Named after the Russian astronaut dog Strelka, the girl develops a psychic connection with canines. A multi-generational epic as seen through the eyes of man’s best friend, the dogs who are used as mere tools for the benefit of humankind gradually discover their true selves, and learn something about us.

Monotonous but original

By Luis Martinez del Campo on December 14, 2015

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

Original but monotonous story. If you like dogs, this might relate to you in a very peculiar way since the book deals with canine genealogy.

A Great Book

By Roger S King on July 8, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

I like SF and I like the twist that only a good Japanese writer can put on a SF storey. This book will hold your interest and mske you want to finish it in one long sitting. I liked it.
