The Plague Dogs by Richard AdamsDescription: Excellent disturbing story which explores experimentation with animals.
From the back cover:
"With the same warm sensibility that made a bestseller of Watership Down, Richard Adams creates a lyrical and engrossing tale, a remarkable journey into the hearts and minds of two canine heroes, Snitter and Rowf, fugitives from the horrors of the animal research center.
"The escape from man's cruelty is only the beginning of their chilling experiences as they flee to the isolation-and terror-of the wilderness.
"First, they strike an unlikely bargain with a fox who will teach them to live by instinct alone if they agree to hunt with him. Then they find enemies springing up all around them-excitement seekers of all kinds-incited by an ambitious young reporter who calls the dogs carriers of a deadly plague."
