Every Dog Has Its Day

[John Bailey]

Says as much about cultural attitudes towards dogs as it does the novel...

Although maybe, in this context, the kind of dog referred to was the
Learned English/Henry James-reading kind.

Off-topic: anyone read Johnathan Safran Foer's latest ("Eating Animals")?

Got through it in a day and have been haunted by it since, perhaps
more than anything in the past few years. Harrowing stuff; not without
major flaws (of a journalistic sort) but more obscene than GR could
ever be labelled, if only for the non-fictional aspect of the
material.

I now wish I'd never been introduced to the term "fecal mist". But I
also now realise it's the air we breathe.
