When a respected surgeon decides to transplant human body parts into a stray dog, he creates a monster - drunken, profligate, aggressive and selfish. It seems the worst aspects of the donor have been transplanted as well. As his previously well-regulated home descends into riotous chaos, the doctor realises he will have to try to reverse the operation; but the dog isn't so keen....

Wild, uproarious and deliriously comic, Bulgakov's short novel is at once a comment on the problems of 1920s Russia and a lasting satire on human nature.

This piece of brilliant classic satire is about the new homosovietico man (sovok in Russian) in Revolutionary Russia.
Absolutely superb narration by Roy McMillan, thank you for this fantastic performance. It is not a satire of human nature but of the new "revolutionary proletariat" type of men. These types of men were called homosovieticos in the West. The publisher didn't understand at all its satire. How sad...

Classic master piece of satire

The story feels like it'll be a slice of life from a street dog's perspective, after the midpoint it is so jarringly divorced from that in a horrific way, the writing also takes a noticeable nose dive once the main "incident" and recording of it has happened.

Starts okay, midpoint is jarring, ending is meh
