Dog Days in Cuba: A Quest for Treasure Book 1 - Paperback

by Paulina a. Zelitsky (Author)

Benz, a Dobermann puppy, is rescued by a foreign scientist working in a Joint Venture with Cuba in the late 1990s. Being accused of being a dangerous dog by his Cuban military boss, Benz escapes execution by joining a team of Cuban scientists and speleologists in the capacity of Ore Search Dog.
Risking his life by diving into lakes of dangerous caves of Cabo San Antonio located in the Peninsula of Guanahacabibes, the westernmost point of the island of Cuba, he assists in the search for the lost valuable treasures of The Cathedral of San Ildefonso of Merida.
Benz recorded his adventures in caves and love affair with a local mongrel dog using a Brain Clone Helmet, containing the Brain-Computer interface specially developed for him by young Cuban engineers and programmers. This unique Helmet discriminates minor neural electrical signals in his brain and decodes his information.
Based on actual events but told in the most sardonic and simple language of a Dobermann dog, this story is about the hypocrisy of the Cuban communist system in abusing and oppressing ordinary Cubans in the post-revolutionary period. It is a political satire about contemporary Cuba with an anthropomorphic touch.
