...today is so genteel that he has never had a flea, never chased a cat. Last week Arthur W. Smith, stylish dog doctor, announced the opening of an exclusive hospital for nervous dogs in West Orange, N. J. Each pet will have a private room, will eat scientifically prepared foods. If, in spite of care, one of the dogs should die, Dogdoctor Smith has a cemetery handy. Near the hospital, 438 dead dogs already lie in neat graves covered with vines and freshly cut flowers. Small white tombstones mark each place. One, a double grave, has a large headstone...

...this exceedingly simple book presents a vision of rabbit life as the Viennese author of Bambi sees it. As in Bambi, which was deer life poeticized, all the birds & beasts of the forest-and finally even the trees- converse freely together in a rather flat idiom, and the majority eat each other with relish and frequency.
