Bobby Platt, un hombre de treinta y un años con la mentalidad de un niño asustado, decide escapar de casa. Deja atrás la tienda que regentó su madre hasta poco antes de morir, y al señor De Winter, un padrastro codicioso y siniestro con el que ha vivido aterrorizado. En su huida precipitada, Bobby encuentra casualmente al señor Summers, un excéntrico y misterioso hombrecillo que vive como un ermitaño en una cabaña del bosque y que se dedica a enterrar los animales pequeños arrollados por los automovilistas en las carreteras. Con él compartirá no sólo su amor a todo tipo de criaturas, sino también sus deseos de venganza de viejos abusos y humillaciones. Esta conmovedora historia, de la que se desprende una alegoría del mundo contemporáneo y de la sempiterna batalla entre el bien y el mal, obsesionó durante varios años al director de cine Jeremy Thomas, quien finalmente la ha llevado a la pantalla en la película del mismo título protagonizada por John Hurt y Christian Bale.

Sincero, fiel, extraordinariamente entregado al amo, el chow-chow es un perro educado, limpio y paciente que, si bien hoy se ha adaptado perfectamente a la vida en familia, en el pasado fue empleado como perro de guarda, de caza y también de arrastre en China, donde tiene su origen. Este libro hace un recorrido a través de la historia y la evolución de la raza, describe el estándar y además es una guía sobre su alimentación, cuidados, adiestramiento, cría y salud.

¿Quién no ha observado a un invidente con uno de esto maravillosos animales, guiándole infaliblemente por la calle? Paciencia, inteligencia y dulzura son las cualidades más destacables de esta raza cuyo valor está en alza imparablemente. Como buen perro de caza, es activo y juguetón, pero su carácter afectuoso, sensible y protector lo convierten en el mejor amigo de la familia.
