2020 book 171

 Diana Wynne Jones' Dogsbody

Decided to reread some Diana Wynne Jones as a palate cleanser, but I forgot how much casual animal cruelty is in this book. People just beating on dogs (and occasionally children and cats). If you have not read this,most the story of the star Sirius, on trial for a crime he didn’t commit, sentenced to live out the lifespan of a dog on earth (and hopefully find the Macguffin that will restore him to his rightful place). Lots of excellent dogs and cats in this one, and a couple of excellent humans (mostly horrible humans though).
