An unfortunate dog named Lucky and an arrogant prize bulldog, become neighbors. The pampered bulldog is not impressed by and neither does it offer sympathy to the starving mongrel. By a chance encounter with a wealthy man both are brought face-to-face with the reality that they are merely two dogs — a suggestion which thoroughly irks the bulldog.The sudden death of their masters bring both to terms with a very bleak future ahead. However, constant hardship had prepared the mongrel well for such a situation, while the other contemplates the fear ahead. This short novel was adapted from a play of same title and also by the same author, Rotimi Ogunjobi. The story, a satire, dramatizes the class divides which naturally arise in most human communities
