Hounds of Mercy

Brave Tsavo, the first Rhodesian Ridgeback hound, 

never really dies. The African nature god Shango 

blesses him with multiple lives, and he travels through 

time and space as a boon to the people he loves.

Follow his heroic journey from battles with ferocious 

lions on the Dark Continent to his 9/11 disaster site 

search and rescue miracles. Watch him soften the 

hearts of weary soldiers at the Battle of Gettysburg 

and open the doors of perception for patients in the 

office of a famous Beverly Hiils psychiatrist.


Colorful African mythology and the literary freedom 

of magical realism have inspired Hounds of Mercy. 

Dog owners know that communication with their 

companion animals is no fantasy. When you finish 

reading "The Psychiatrist's Hound", take your own 

beloved canine for a walk and just ask, "What do 

you think happens in the story about Lockdown, 

the prison hound?"
