Dog Days by Jon Katz

In Dog Days, Jon Katz, the squire of Bedlam Farm, allows us to live our dreams of leaving the city for the country, and shares the unpredictable adventure of farm life. The Border Collies, sheep, chickens, cat, ram and one surprisingly sociable steer named Elvis all contribute to the hum (and occasional roar) of Bedlam. Katz conveys the interaction of all of the animals and what we learn from them through some very funny moments. 299 pages - paperback
