After several days, Berkeley, who is the only one not confined to a cage, frees the other animals so they can get to the food supplies. One day the owner of the shoppe does not show up as usual, and the animals conclude that he is dead. “Menagerie, a Child’s Fable” takes place in a pet store where the main character, a German shepherd named Berkeley, works as a watchdog. Although it is subtitled “A Child’s Fable,” “Menagerie, a Child’s Fable” is aimed at the adult reader and addresses serious social and political issues. “Menagerie, a Child’s Fable,” by Charles Johnson, was first published in a magazine in 1984, and reprinted in the short story collection The Sorcerer’s Apprentice in 1986.
