Synopsis

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.
