Unnatural Selection: A Novel: Darwin didn't see this coming
Meet Teddy, a dog who hasn't understood the assignment.

Instead of digging holes and fetching sticks, he prefers the trappings of humanity—a species he's convinced, against all biological evidence, includes himself.

But when his doting owner Maggie vanishes, leaving Teddy in the care of her suspected captor, his pampered existence descends into a nightmare.

Determined to find Maggie, Teddy starts investigating, only to unearth a bunch of questions about his own identity: Why does rain terrify him? What's with needing to be called a "good boy" every five seconds? Does he really like puppacinos, or has he just been conditioned to think he does?

A brilliantly funny identity crisis told by literature's most delusional narrator, Unnatural Selection skewers our modern obsession with treating pets like people with heart, humor and wickedly clever insight.
