Solo

The Last of the Moscow Water Dogs

By: Riano D. McFarland

Narrated by: Sarah Ruth Thomas

In 1955, the Soviet Union introduced the Moscow Water Dog in a canine show to great acclaim. However, in real world situations, they fell far short of the expectations Russian cynologists had set for them, and in 1979, the Moscow Water Dog project was shut down. Supposedly the last of the breed died out in 1990, but did they?

Boris Davidof was a Soviet scientist who had worked intensely on the project and was unwilling to abandon what he’d seen as his greatest accomplishment. Long after the program was discontinued, he continued his research privately, creating an animal void of emotion and empathy and willing to execute any command given without hesitation, up to and including murder.

Each dog in the program was named Solo (Single Objective Living Organism) and given a numeric identification number. During a raid on his research facility, only one Moscow Water Dog survived without being captured. He was an eight-week-old puppy named SOLO-21, and although he was bred to be a killer, unless and until his microchip was activated...he was just a puppy.

A Very Exciting Covert Russian Dog Story

This was very different from other books written by Riano D. Mcfarland. I found it a good view of how even after the cold war ended, how some old soldiers still want to continue the experiments shut down.
Narrator does a Great job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline.

A Delightful Animal Adventure

If you're anything like me and have a soft spot for pets, rest assured—this book will fill you with joy! You’ll find yourself head over heels in love. The narrator was fantastic, and now I can’t wait to see what the author and narrator do next.
