The Three Untamed Dogs

“Dogs change our lives for the chaotic, but, in truth, it’s a chaos we miss. When you think about it, isn’t that what we all look for? I want to remember each of my dogs, forever.”
Markus Zusak, bestselling author of The Book Thief, opens his home to us to tell how his family had the brilliant, or perhaps utterly mad, idea of adopting three abandoned dogs. Reuben, who looks more like a wolf than a dog; Archer, an expert at destroying the most beautiful rug and then looking innocent, as if to say: “It’s your fault”; and Frosty, who wrecks the house and then snuggles up next to us with the greatest tenderness, while we’re on the phone to the carpenter asking for a quote. The result? Total chaos.
Amidst laughter, unexpected events and irreversible damage to the garden, disaster seems inevitable. But it is precisely in this disorder that something extraordinary happens. Mistakes turn into lessons, chaos becomes a space for growth, and, above all, a love so intense is born that it becomes impossible to imagine life without it. This is a breathtaking, raw and deeply human testimony, portraying chaos, the bonds that transform us, and that disorderly beauty that only an animal can bring to our lives. A brave and unexpected love story about how even the most untamed animals become part of the family.
