AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Told in the first person, this is an autobiographical narrative of a cocker spaniel who, although born in Australia, learned to bark in both Spanish and English ['aunque nací en Australia, yo aprendí a ladrar en español y en inglés'... (p. 145)]. The narrative concludes with 'Balú' reaching old age, and his life ending with an injection. 'Hoy soy sólo un recuerdo perruno que seguirá viviendo en ustedes' [Now I'm just a canine memory that will continue to live in you (p. 151)].
