Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
It's a dog's life for a boy when he magically turns into a hound in this classic story from the author of Bambi .
On a routine walk through the streets of his hometown of Vienna, Lucas Grassi sees an archduke's coach. He can't help but wish he was rich and powerful and leaving the dark city behind. And when he sees the archduke's faithful dog running alongside, he wishes he could just be the dog and be free from his everyday life.
And then his wish comes true: Lucas does become the dog. Every other day he switches from his normal body to that of the archduke's canine companion. Soon he learns the dog is treated badly and the archduke is not a nice man. Lucas decides he'll do anything to reverse his wish...if only he knew what to do!
Felix Salten's tale of a wish gone awry is brought back to life in this beautiful repackage.
