“My Irish Setter pup, Toby, left alone one night made confetti of my latest manuscript. At least two months of work to be redone. I was pretty mad, but the poor little fellow may have been acting critically. I did not want to ruin a good dog for a manuscript that I’m not sure is good at all.”
~John Steinbeck, in a letter to his literary agent (about the manuscript for Of Mice and Men)
