In the forum disappeared once replaced for a time in this blog, one of our partner wrote a review of this book. This review disappeared with the forum, since I did not want to return the writings of others in the forum, based on respect for the rights of their respective owners. The forum, for those who do not remember, fell into disuse and I was left alone by adding my reviews, so I finally decided to do a blog again, for restoring a backup of my old blog and added the reviews he had written in the forum. The rest, unfortunately, was lost in the change of hosting when my blog was off the air for a brief period last April. 
Returning to the book, read it I was born since then, I must confess that this was the first time I read about him, although he had recently seen at that time in a used book sale. But it was only this week that I could get and yesterday I finally got to read it.
Abstract
The hero in this story is a miserable condition dog who became farm dog after an incident in the village did not want him to return, so seeing Toribio going down the road, hit him and adopted hereinafter referred to as master, despite the bad reception he had in the house, where he ended up accepting the end and gave the name Nero.
Cowardly as himself, the hero of the story makes the ranch near Toribio the scene of his adventures, which included as co-stars to a Chump (turkey), a couple of chickens, a pig, a dead frog, a lizard, saints in procession, an occasional surprise in a sack, and even a bear!
Each story is short but rich in description and in humor.
Comments
You can not do a more complete summary without spoiling one or more stories, so I just list the adventures of the way I already did, yes, invite them to read this brilliant book, a very representative sample of our country and the traditions of our humble people from the unusual perspective of a dog "avocado".
I should clarify that this is a fairly short book, and my delay between the last and this is due more to posteo that interrupted the reading of another book to get started and finish it. I turn to my reading as before.
