博客來Meet Teddy, a dog who hasn’t understood the assignment.
Instead of digging holes and fetching sticks, he prefers the trappings of humanity-a species he’s convinced, against all biological evidence, includes himself.
But when his doting owner Maggie vanishes, leaving Teddy in the care of her suspected captor, his pampered existence descends into a nightmare.
Determined to find Maggie, Teddy starts investigating, only to unearth a bunch of questions about his own identity: Why does rain terrify him? What’s with needing to be called a ＂good boy＂ every five seconds? Does he really like puppacinos, or has he just been conditioned to think he does?
A brilliantly funny identity crisis told by literature’s most delusional narrator, Unnatural Selection skewers our modern obsession with treating pets like people with heart, humor and wickedly clever insight.
