I Wish I Were A Dog

In this tender Edwardian tale of childhood, loss, and imagination, I Wish I Were a Dog follows young Dicky Brook—a sensitive boy who struggles to meet the expectations of his strict father and brilliant siblings. Living in a home shaped by grief and duty, Dicky finds solace only in the unconditional love of Jasper, the family spaniel.

When a particularly difficult day leaves Dicky feeling worthless and misunderstood, he begins to daydream of a simpler life—one where he could be a dog, free from judgment and failure. As his imagination takes over, Dicky journeys into a surreal, emotional world where dreams and reality blur.

Rich with emotional nuance and written with gentle irony, this poignant short story explores the deep inner world of a child longing for comfort, understanding, and identity. Narrated with warmth and grace by Martine Baruch, I Wish I Were a Dog is a heartfelt, introspective classic for listeners of all ages.
