Balzac is a wise and intelligent dog. An unusual name for a dog, but the latter is endowed with undeniable literary talent, and going against the facts is a fruitless task. The author has tried to look at man through the eyes of an animal, a dog. Questions and not-so-comfortable conclusions are inevitable: isn't an animal sometimes more intelligent than a person? Maybe the latter has simply appropriated his high title of an intelligent creature. And does intelligence, which is a prerequisite for the establishment of our species, allow us to unconditionally deserve the boundless devotion and loyalty of our four-legged friends. The novel, which is Levon Ness's first Armenian work, is written in the first person. A literary device that gives the story a unique credibility.
