The Dogs of Kaloon Carl L. Galey

(This book is a cross between Watership Down and The Planet of the Apes.) What if ''man''s best friend'' ruled the earth? What if man had finally committed the ultimate blunder by manufacturing a weapon potent enough to wipe the human race off of the face of the earth, while not affecting the plant or animal life? Then, what if the domesticated canine, by sheer yearning for the return of his ''Man-God,'' had sped up the evolutionary process to the point of evolving into a ''half-man?'' Tucker Charley has returned from the Great Chicago Cat Wars to find that his puphood home has been corrupted by an unscrupulous sheriff who profits from the illegal manufacture, and sale, of the drug ''catnip.'' After seeking, and being elected to the office himself, Tucker and Bull Turner, his chief deputy, embark on the task of ridding the county of the drug ring. In the process, he has to do battle with a renegade cat-gang hired by the ex-sheriff to assassinate him and one of the beautiful Farnsworth sisters. Then, after eliminating what appears to be all of the crises in his life, a startling new development surfaces...man reappears!
