"great colorful language IMO"

Not mine. I stole it from Harry Turtledove. Ok, I filed off the serial numbers, but...

On page 490 of the paperback version of Homeward Bound, Straha makes a similar observation about another member of the Race. Of course, he compares to a beffel and not a dog, but it is the same idea.

Excellent book. One of the best in the whole series. The idea of aliens invading Earth during WWII could have easily turned out hokey, but Turtledove pulls it off.
