"A Gathering of Bones," by Sadie Whippet...A tell-tail tell-all by the self-proclaimed "cross between Lola Montez and Lassie." Ms. Whippet explicitly recounts her early life as a bitch on the streets whose keen ability to dig through garbage results in her transformation into a racy news hound, the love slave of a marmoset dictator, and eventually the lust puppy of a presidential pet.
