Resum

Arturo Pérez-Reverte’s short novel Los perros duros no bailan (2018) is the first of the prolific Spanish writer’s attempts at animal fable and allegory. This postmodern and highly intertextual novel explores the nature of masculinity and ageing in a hostile world of violence and conflict. The aim of this article is to analyse the role of the motif of the dog, and the way in which the author deploys it as mechanism through which to communicate issues around gender, age, history and Spanish identity.
