• Congratulations on Duncan! It's the classic Lady and the Tramp for me-book and Disney version.

• Thanks @mand and @dreamdust for your good wishes. Aside from the flees (which we just got rid of!) and exorbitant vet bills, Duncan is a lovely dog who's clearly thrilled to have found a good home.

• He sounds gorgeous :) and I hope it's not being greedy to add 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time' by Mark Haddon?

• Good Dog, Carl by Alexandra Day! By the way, my rescue dog is named Oliver after Oliver Twist; the cat is Constance (the cat and dog have a complicated relationship, LOL) and then we had various rodents named Stuart Little, George and Lennie. Congratson the new addition!

• Love the name Oliver! Wish I'd thought of that one. And thanks for the good wishes. Duncan has turned out to be the sweetest dog imaginable -- so grateful to be with our family -- now if the kids could only be more like him... :).

• Fluke (1977) by James Herbert. A man, reincarnated as a dog, remembers his past life. Not your usual Herbert novel; no ghosts, no monsters, no horror. Just a dog coming to terms with having once been a man.
