Publisher's summary

In 1955, the Soviet Union introduced the Moscow Water Dog in a canine show to great acclaim. However, in real world situations, they fell far short of the expectations Russian cynologists had set for them, and in 1979, the Moscow Water Dog project was shut down. Supposedly the last of the breed died out in 1990, but did they?

Boris Davidof was a Soviet scientist who had worked intensely on the project and was unwilling to abandon what he’d seen as his greatest accomplishment. Long after the program was discontinued, he continued his research privately, creating an animal void of emotion and empathy and willing to execute any command given without hesitation, up to and including murder.

Each dog in the program was named Solo (Single Objective Living Organism) and given a numeric identification number. During a raid on his research facility, only one Moscow Water Dog survived without being captured. He was an eight-week-old puppy named SOLO-21, and although he was bred to be a killer, unless and until his microchip was activated...he was just a puppy.

I Want A Moscow Water Dog!

This story is both informative and incredibly entertaining. I never even knew there was such a breed before reading this novel, but McFarland deftly made me fall for a dog that doesn't even exist anymore. The story, the characters, and the entire way the plot is woven together is magical and truly emotionally binding. Sarah Ruth Thomas truly shines in delivering this amazing story straight to the heart!

Solo-The Last of the Moscow Water Dogs

This was a very enthralling story, the characters are great, and their tale is very emotional.

The narration was easy to follow and I enjoyed listening to this story.
