Super Short Summary

In Fifteen Dogs by Andre Alexis, Greek gods Apollo and Hermes make a wager on whether animals with human intelligence would be happier than humans if given the ability to comprehend language. They grant this gift to 15 dogs at a veterinary clinic. The dogs' reactions vary, leading to friendships, rivalries, philosophical musings, and moral dilemmas as they navigate their new reality and struggle with the complexities of their newfound consciousness. Death, violence, and existentialism are predominant themes.
