Horrifying and hilarious, Cornelius the dog is a spectacular train wreck-you just can\'t look away. Cornelius is a fumbling loser, the butt of everyone\'s jokes. When his friend Alspacka is kidnapped, the subsequent criminal investigation turns into a dramatic and emotional ordeal, upending Cornelius\'s life. Torn between his desire to be a writer and his immense guilt over his cowardly role in Alspacka\'s abduction, Cornelius is a classic Faustian figure: an aspiring artist so hungry for success that he will pay any price.
