The drawings in the book were done by Edward Koren and are perfect for all the stories. Boy provides us with his observations of his new owners (he calls them management), thoughts on hygiene habits of various nationalities who visit the French cottage, cats, meals and wine. What a wonderful life Boy had living in the Provence countryside, wandering from the kitchen to the local woods and then writing his memoirs. The kind lady and her husband are none other than Peter Mayle and his wife. This is the beginning of Boy’s good fortune. Finally, on one of his trips roaming the roadside, a kind lady stopped the car and offered him a ride.

Each time he followed someone it seemed they may take him in but he was always shooed away in the end. The dog roamed the countryside, eating scraps when he could find anything and eventually went into a city to beg for food and company. The dog took off for the meat and the owner drove off, abandoning the poor dog to fend for himself. The cruel owner took him for a car ride, pulled the dog from the car and hurled a piece of meat into the weeds. I was becoming truly sad when I read how he was abandoned. When he was taken hunting he proved to inefficient at that task as he was afraid of gunfire. He was chained outside with barely any shelter and had a cruel owner. “Boy” was a pup with an unhappy childhood. But then I tend to give my dogs more credit regarding their thought processes and adding human emotion.

It seems like a very accurate accounting of what I think dog’s reactions may be. This story is told from the dog’s point of view. A Dog’s Life is different from his usual writing style but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
