Though the tone is light, the tales of eight adopted stray dogs are full of drama and duress.

Zappy grew up amongst ancient ruins. Frangos was thrown out with the trash. Liza didn’t know the word “fetch”. Today, Mozart is obsessed with chasing balls, while Ivan prefers cars. Ari has three legs, but plenty of barks to go around. Gamine, a jittery young mother is learning to relax, while Merenga has a flair for dance.

Together, these stories – which often include the dog’s point-of-view - shed light on Athens’ thousands of less lucky canines.
