Пятнадцать псов (Большой роман)

The story made me question whether it’s fair to assign human-like consciousness to animals and then judge their outcomes. How did others interpret the ending?

Using dogs as vessels for philosophical questions about life and mortality was unexpected but powerful. I wonder what led the author to this specific concept.

The book seamlessly blends moments of levity with profound reflections, which kept me engaged but also made me think deeply. Was this a deliberate stylistic choice?
