A simple but entertaining collection of short stories. I enjoyed this book; it was a quick read and a good palate cleanser before I move onto something new (and longer!).

I was expecting dark fairy tales and really only the title story delivered on that front so I was a bit disappointed. These were more like moralistic fables. Pictured is not the butcher's dog, but my dog Gabriel. #dogsoflitsy

Brie Ha, he refused to look at the camera! Cute but so stubborn. @Lmstraubie 8y
DGRachel My Akita/Collie mix was like that. Hated having her picture taken and would refuse to look at the camera. So much attitude. 😂 8y

Brie @DGRachel Haha, good to know I'm not the only one with camera shy dogs 8y
emtobiasz Aw, Gabriel is a dear. My dog only responds to her name the first time I say it 😂 8y
Brie @emtobiasz That's funny 😂Gabe doesn't even really know his own name! 8y
emtobiasz @Brie aww, Olive knows hers really well-- probably because we bribed her as a puppy to learn it. Her favorite thing is when strangers say it-- people are always asking me her name, and repeating after me. She wags so much then 🐶❤️ 8y
Brie Aw, Olive sounds so cute @emtobiasz 8y
