Gerry Burke offers readers an absorbing short story collection filled with dry humor and satire. No one is safe, and nothing

is above being mocked as Burke refuses to pull his punches. He delivers a laugh-out-loud collection of short stories featuring a diverse breed of dogs, all of whom play vital roles in these tales. Dogmatic contains a potent mix of satire, absurdism, and dark comedy that you can't get enough of. The characters are intentionally over-the-top, and you'll easily become invested in their story arcs. Burke's witty dialogue and humor always hits the nail on the head while surprising you with some clever plot twists and turns. I thoughly enjoyed reading this anthology collection. If you're a dog owner or even a short story enthusiast in passing, this one is a must read.
