Synopsis of Lady, ma vie de chienne

Esta novela perturbadora se presenta como una alegoría sobre la libertad, la responsabilidad, la sexualidad y la vida en general. Tristemente, también es una representación de la vida juvenil en la calle y la delincuencia, ofreciendo un retrato crudo y a veces difícil de leer. Sandra, una adolescente con problemas, consume alcohol, drogas y tiene relaciones sexuales de manera descontrolada. Vive con su madre divorciada, su hermano y su hermana en una ciudad industrial de Gran Bretaña. Un día, tras una pelea con un chico, Sandra golpea a un vagabundo llamado Terry, un alcohólico conocido en la zona. Él, enfadado, la insulta y la transforma en una perra. Aquí comienza su segunda vida, la de Lady la perra. Deambulando por terrenos baldíos y agujeros miserables, vivirá, correrá, olerá, gruñirá, se apareará y actuará sin restricciones ni leyes como sus congéneres, una manada de perros, guiada por su instinto, dividida entre sus pulsiones bestiales y sus recuerdos humanos, con Terry como su amo. En un último intento de reconciliación con su familia, Sandra rechaza todo lo que la hacía humana, eligiendo la vida en la calle: "Sentir la vida y la muerte entre sus dientes, copular, cazar y luego desaparecer en un torrente de sangre bajo las ruedas de un camión".
