Dodie Smith: The Starlight Barking. (Undetermined language, 1985, Puffin)
Undetermined language
Published Dec. 2, 1985 by Puffin.
When they awake to find that every living creature in England, except the dogs, is asleep, Dalmatians Pongo and Missis discover unusual abilities that lead them to London where their daughter is assembling all breeds of dogs to await contact from Sirius, the Dog Star.
I read the first one last year just to get to the sequel, which I’d heard was totally bonkers. Let me tell you, the 102 Dalmatians film where Cruella is literally baked into a cake is not even half as bonkers as this.
