Cujo

I'm guessing that many of you own or have owned a dog at some point in your life. And, i'm also guessing that you'd consider said dog to be loyal to you and part of your family. So, I ask you, can you possibly imagine what you'd do if your dog went rabid?
Pooch would lose his appetite. Start to become easily confused. Tired. His brain would melt and with that he'd forget about you. Forget the loyalty and love he held for you.
He'd feel intense pain.
In his eyes YOU would become the reason that he feels this pain.
Mix this with a claustrophobic seige over a few days, some marital issues, a child that suffers from sleepless nights and you have Cujo.
King really doesn't hold back any punches with this. Be warned. It's bleak, but an amazing read.

The horror of Cujo, unlike most other King books, is that it's realistic. Trapped in a car, it's hot, and a rabid dog is on the loose. Always wondered why this one wasn't more popular. A King classic.

As a dog lover and owner I was always more sorry for the dog than the woman and the kid... but now when I have a kid...well, I guess I won't ever read it again.
“So I ask you, can you possibly imagine what you’d do if your dog went rabid ?”Did you read “Old Yeller” when you were a kid ? I certainly cried at the end of the book.
