The Jewish Dog is the story of Caleb, a unique dog born in Germany in 1935. When events separate him from his Jewish owners, he is adopted by a Nazi family, employed by the SS as a military dog, and witnesses first-hand the rise of Nazism and the Holocaust. It is a story of heroism, survival, and brave friendship, told from the perspective of an intelligent creature who views the world from only 20 inches above the ground – yet who sees more clearly than many humans. Deeply ironic and even humorous, The Jewish Dog wonders what, if anything, distinguishes man from dog.
"From the very beginning, I knew I was an exceptional pup.... There are countless things that distinguish me from my fellow dogs. The first is my understanding that all good things must come to an end – said end usually being much closer than expected.... Something in me always keeps me on my toes. Even if I do let myself succumb to the occasional petting, I’m always prepared for the calamities lurking right around the corner. My vigilance is incurable. Acknowledging that everything in life is temporary is a cornerstone of my Jewish identity."
