Did you ever know it at all: full-fathom fearlessness and the feel of charging away from your own lit windows into the night  charging off on a scent  purely  and the urge that it stirs? Go. Go. And further  and on  with nothing holding you back  no worry  not a second  not even a first thought -- thought that leads to fear and fear to worries and these to clouded thoughts  like the fence-snagged sheep hair of atmosphere that drags tonight in a blue wind about the planet.\"  A young dog named Angus lies wounded at the edge of a dark wood. In the distance he sees the lights of his owners cabin. As he starts the long  valiant climb back to them  all the stirring sights  sounds  and scents of his brief but wildly episodic life begin to replay before him.  Born on a farm in Devon called Pollards Combe  where Charles Siebert and his wife arrive one stormy night to claim him  Angus soon finds himself being whisked off to a multi-sensory array of new destinations: from a small miners cottage on the Cornish seacoast; to the lighted \"room-stacks\" of London; to the cargo hold of the \"metal bird\" that delivers him to Brooklyn; and  finally  to the wild woods of southern Canada  where Angus irrepressible curiosity and zeal for new experience finally meet their match.  With Angus  Charles Siebert  author of the critically acclaimed memoir Wickerby: An Urban Pastoral  has performed a singular act of literary ventriloquism -- the autobiography of a dog  a book that offers us a wry  poignant  ultimately redemptive view of life and death as perceived through the heightened senses of one very brave  winsome  unforgettable Jack Russell terrier. At once poetic  thoroughly canine  and unsentimental  Angus is a brilliant feat of the imagination that illuminates our often ambiguous relationship with our fellow creatures  while delivering us to a fuller understanding of the forces that make us all one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67923828178997,"sku":"ByrdShop_0609604945","price":60.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780609604946.jpg?v=1794116411","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/angus-a-memoir-9780609604946","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
