Guess what my favorite part of this preview is! Ze puppeh that turns into a badass german shepherd. A boy's idea of comaraderie is war. Mine is surviving apocalypse with a dog at my side.
Or writing a book at a deserted farmhouse with a pack of wild dogs to roam with, which is what Thomas Harris did while writing Red Dragon...
"In the fall of 1979, I returned home to the Mississippi Delta and remained there eighteen months. I was working on Red Dragon. My neighbor...kindly gave me the use of a shotgun house in the center of a vast cotton field, and there I worked....Sometimes at night I would leave the lights on in my little house and walk across the flat fields. When I looked back from a distance, the house looked like a boat at sea, and all around me the vast Delta night.
I soon became acquainted with the semi-feral dogs who roamed free across the fields in what was more or less a pack. Some of them had casual arrangements with the families of farm workers, but much of the time they had to forage for themselves. In the hard winter months with the ground frozen and dry, I started giving them dog food and soon they were going through fifty pounds of dog food a week. They followed me around, and they were a lot of company--tall dogs, short ones, relatively friendly dogs and big rough ones you could not touch. They walked with me in the fields at night and when I couldn't see them, I could hear them all around me, breathing and snuffling along in the dark. When I was working in the cabin, they waited on the front porch, and when the moon was full they would sing."
