Sirius is Thomas Trelone's great experiment--a huge, handsome dog with
the brain and intelligence of a human being. Raised and educated in
Trelone's own family alongside Plaxy, his youngest daughter, Sirius is a
truly remarkable and gifted creature. His relationship with the
Trelones, particularly with Plaxy, is deep and close, and his inquiring
mind ranges across the spectrum of human knowledge and experience. But
Sirius isn't human and the conflicts and inner turmoil that torture him
cannot be resolved.
