Publisher's summary

A Fascinating New Twist in the Post Apocalyptic Genre

"One of the best social commentaries of our time, wrapped in a whopping good tale."

"Can't believe it's a first effort! Very suspenseful! The thought that something so 'every day' and beloved could cause such chaos is chilling. I was actually frightened by the possibilities raised here and can see how something trivial can be twisted or corrupted to wreak havoc! Good job! Fiction or prediction of a possible future scenario? Scared me to think about it." – Laura L.

"I read a lot of books, mostly sci-fi or adventure. This is the best book I have read in a long time. The story is creative, original, and the more I hear about people in this world, the more I can see that it is possible and maybe probable and making me think strongly about stockpiling. The book was well written and leaving you wanting more. I will certainly read the next volume in this (hopefully) series. I give it 5 stars." – Illiad5

The twisted world of mainstream news and social media becomes the catalyst for social upheaval, entangling Steven Bryant in a frantic fight for the lives of his family and friends. A news story goes viral, causing their once normal lives to take a dangerous turn when a flawed medical research study suggesting man’s best friend might be his worst enemy.

Chaos erupts and a near total collapse of society looms in a perfect storm of government corruption, political correctness, and social justice movements. Steven unwittingly finds himself the leader of a struggle for survival as America's civil structure and social fabric is exposed as a house of cards. Sworn enemies become allies when faced with a common cause and friends and family members become bitter enemies as they confront hunger and widespread violence in a threat to their very survival.

Life will never be the same.

Political Thriller

I did enjoy listening to the book but found it to be more of a military/politics apocalypse thriller than a medical thriller. The narrator did great job. It definitely was written recently with the characters mentioned. It is scary what our government could cause.

Well done and thank you Mr. Walker.

Interesting and unique story line. I was anticipating something quite different, but the story and Kevin Pierce soon had me interested and paying close attention. The story begins with a government medical report conveying the result of their research that dog dander was the cause for 90% of the cancer cases in the U.S.. With this information the government issued orders that all dogs should be confiscated and put to death. This is the basis for the title of the novel and the trigger that caused civil unrest throughout the country and the beginning of a potential civil war. The tale proceeds as a commentary on social media, government overreach and corruption, and the struggle to preserve our rights, freedom and the Constitution. This debut novel by a new author was well thought out and executed. Well done and thank you Mr. Walker. Kevin Pierce’s performance was flawless as usual. The tale certainly comes from a libertarian mind, but that’s alright by me. It highlights and warns of possibilities and potential problems straight from today’s headlines, television and radio broadcasts. Caveat emptor!

Wasn't expecting the homosexuality theme to pop up

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Not really

What was most disappointing about Burt Walker’s story?

I was put off by his psychoanalysis of one of the chatacter's homosexuality, wasn't sure where it was headed, didn't stick around to find out.

Any additional comments?

Not my kind of book. Didn't finish it.

A enjoyable book filled with suspense

What did you love best about Canine Plague?

There are a lot of books in the survivalist vein. Most center around a few story lines ; EMP/Virus/Terrorism/Economic collapse. This was different it centered around unfounded fear and the herd mentality

Who was your favorite character and why?

Steven was my favorite. The reluctant hero that did the right thing even though it put himself and others at risk

What about Kevin Pierce’s performance did you like?

The narrator was and is one of my favorites. His voice fits the age and characters with good diction and emotion when needed. He adds a lot

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not really it is pretty long. I used the sleep timer and I listened to it for an hour before sleep. A great way to look forward to the next nights sleep!

Any additional comments?

If you like strong characters, a bit of social commentary and an overall the good guys win book this is a good one. I enjoyed it and will look forward to others by the author

Awesome!

I had no idea what to expect with Canine and a post apocalyptic world...but it was a great twist! I loved it, the characters and the communities! I am hoping to find additional books by Mr. Walker! His writing style and knowledge was perfect! And Mr. Kevin Pierce, as always was fantastic and really brings the characters to life! Definite 5 stars!

CaninePlague

Kevin Pierce narrates this book very nicely.I had some issues with this book.I realize it is fiction,perfectly timed fiction with a serious right wing slant.The anti liberal stance in this book is extreme.There is a lot of misinformation through out. Forgetting that,it was an ok book.The writing was well done,though the threads do not come together at times.I was given this book free for an honest review.
