Just as Snow White has seven dwarfs, so I will have seven dogs.


When Susanna Tamaro swapped her small flat in central Rome for a spacious house in the country, the first thing she did was adopt a dog. First, there was Argo, a disabled hound who drove Shepherds of the Maremma into hiding; then poor Bianchina entered the gates of doggy paradise; Tobia, anarchic but noble-hearted; followed by Pongo, an ordinary mutt; Sissi, the perfect cure for insomnia; and Archimede, the polygamist beagle. There were other four-legged companions, all adopted from kennels and with tragic backgrounds. One by one, Susanna transformed her home into a happy family of not only dogs and humans, but also cats and parakeets, not to mention horses and donkeys.

In this hilarious and heartfelt book, she tells the story of how these animals enriched the lives of everyone around them, offering more than just companionship, but unconditional love. Anyone who has ever loved or been loved by an animal will understand how they bring peace and acceptance as no human can. Our furry friends, so inextricably linked to human companionship, are also unique teachers of loyalty, gratitude and happiness.


A profound message about living together in unbalanced times.
