Büyük ormanın ortasında küçük bir göl vardı. Ağaçların arasında kalan gölün küçücük dalgaları, minik midye kabuklarıyla dolu kıyıya vuruyordu. Kıyıda dalgalarla dövülmüş kum taneleri arasında karıncalar sağa sola koşuşturuyordu. Küçük kayalar arasındaki yengeçlerin gözleri bir göle bir kumlara dönüyordu. Kıyının hemen yanında türlü türlü otlar, çiçekler gölün etrafını süslüyordu. Ağaçların arasından gölü ziyarete gelen birçok canlı vardı. Su içmeye gelen tavşanlar, tilkiler, gölde yaşayan kurbağalar, çiçeklerden beslenen kelebekler, arılar, balık avlayan kuşlar ve daha neler neler… Saymakla bitmez.

Ancak biz gelelim kuyruklarını sallaya sallaya, sağa sola devrile devrile yürüyen; arada vak vak öten ördek ailesine. Bu aile küçük bir aile değildi. Oldukça kalabalık bir ördek sürüsüydü. Yaklaşık yirmi yavru, onların anne ve babaları, teyzeleri, diğer akrabaları hepsi bir arada geziyorlardı. Otuz beş - kırk ördekten oluşuyordu bu büyük ördek sürüsü.

The Dog Who Wouldn't Be

Farley Mowat

The heartwarming, classic true story of a dog who didn’t understand he’s a dog—and the imaginative boy who loved him. Funny and poignant, The Dog Who Wouldn’t Be is a lively portrait of an unorthodox childhood and an unforgettable friendship. Growing up in on the frontier of Saskatoon, Canada, the legendary adventurer and naturalist, Farley Mowat, received a gift from his mom: a dog she bought for four cents. Farley quickly named him “Mutt.” Mutt displayed skills at hunting and retrieving that were either pure genius or just plain crazy—once going so far as to retrieve a plucked and trussed ruffed grouse from the grocer. Mutt also loved riding passenger in an open car wearing goggles and climbing both trees and ladders — the perfect companion for a child with a love for animals and misadventures. Originally published for young people, this is a memoir by the author Never Cry Wolf that will delight dog lovers of all ages.“The Dog Who Wouldn’t Be was, and will forever remain, one of my first and deepest literary loves. When I first read it as a child, it became my “gateway book” to Farley Mowat’s other great works, books which inspired me throughout my life. Re-reading it as an adult . . . I fell in love all over again with the eccentric and talented Mutt, with Farley’s boyhood adventures, with the wild Saskatoon prairie. This classic remains one of the best biographies of an animal ever written–a masterful tribute to the bond between an extraordinary boy and an extraordinary dog.” —Sy Montgomery, author of Tamed and Untamed: Close Encounters of the Animal Kind
