I'm a big fan of Simenon, in fact, he is the only fiction author that I read. First off the title has little to do with the story. The dog is scarcely mentioned and in fact has little to do with the story..at least how I interpret it. The story is about a man who is terminally ill and has recently been released from jail. The first half of the book focuses on his present life and the many regrets he has while the 2nd explains how he has arrived at it. The most interesting part for me WAS his previous life as I would never have guessed it.
Although not his best it was still a very good reading

The Man With a Little Dog is one of Georges Simenon’s romans durs, and just as with most of them, I found it to be a spare and affecting little novel.

Simenon’s forte is exploring the life of one of society’s outcasts. In this case, Felix Allard is indeed an outcast--earning a living working for a miserable woman in a book shop, contemplating suicide, and spending his days walking the streets with his only remaining friend, a dog named Bib. One day, Felix feels overcome with a desire to write out a journal reflecting on his paltry life, and this is novel is that journal, as Allard explores the tangles of his life to see just how he ended up where he is.

I’m not going to say much about what Felix discovers; that gradual unveiling of his mind and backstory is the sum of the novel. But I will say that the pleasure of the novel is the feeling when you reach the end that you understand this sad man and get a sense of both his pitifulness and his worth. I think something like that feeling is what I’ve experienced after reading most of Simenon’s novels, and that’s why he worth reading again and again.

Félix Allard is feverishly writing something in a notebook "to get to the bottom of things." His little dog Bib is worried. This scribbling is new, and Félix has not varied in his habits for years.

Although an educated man, Félix is working as an underpaid assistant in a shabby bookstore. His employer is a bedridden old woman with a dubious past. She summons him upstairs frequently. Witch-like she interrogates him with eyes that miss nothing.

Félix has a dubious past himself. He's done something terrible, and he's still paying for it. What did he do? And why did he do it? His notebook will soon tell all. The plot is quite eventful for a book of modest length with so reclusive a protagonist.

Bib is a wonderful character, while clearly remaining a dog. He too has a mysterious past hinted at by the tricks he does, taught him by a previous owner. Mme Annelet the bookseller is another great character - so delicious a wreck that I defy anyone to resist her glittering eyes.

The Man with The Little Dog was first published in 1964. I consider it among the best of Simenon's dark psychological novels - beautifully written, distinctly Parisian, rich in subtle ironies and oddly satisfying.

The Man with the Little Dog was first published as L'Homme au petit chien in 1964. It was translated by Jean Stewart. I once heard a religious drama broadcast when I was a child, I think it was called `The Hour of St Francis'. It was about a man who had died in the street, and who had no identification. Nobody knew who he was. Eventually, someone recognised him, and he was taken to the apartment where he had lived. There, it transpired, nobody knew anything about him. He had lived his life without, it appeared, human contact. As far as other people were concerned, he was a cypher. The point of the broadcast was, I think, that such a life might appear to be meaningless, but it was not meaningless to god. The Man with the Little Dog is Simenon's take on this story, about a little man, who in this case had at least a little dog he cared for, who dies in the street and seems to be a nobody, with no other human being to care for him, whose life appears to have been meaningless.

Felix Allard and his little dog Bib have their story told by Simenon, and so Felix turns out to be far from a nobody. Felix keeps a notebook. He is ill, and has resolved to kill himself by an overdose of sleeping tablets before his illness can incapacitate him. Before doing this, he attempts a summing up. It turns out to be the life story of a rather frigid, complacent man, well-off, learned, who ineffectually drifts through life until overtaken by financial ruin, jealousy and, finally, crime. It's the story of a man here purely because a spermatozoa fertilised an egg, bound to develop in a certain way because of biological processes he has no control over, living in a society which determines his opportunities, and through that, his personality. A cypher. Simenon's genius makes him an everyman.

It's hard not to be moved by this book. Felix's attitudes are limited, and many of his actions are foolish. His attitude, though, and his reflections, are those of any person who has ever reflected on the question, "why?" His plight is that of every human being who has ever lived. Not that different from Bib the dog, who gives his affection, performs his tricks, follows his instincts, and is rescued from one animal shelter only to end up, at Felix's death, in another.

Binthars

When Simenon was on, he was one of the greatest writers in the world. He could convey more pathos, psychological tension and mystery in his short, spare novels than most other writers could ever dream of.
This book focusses on a typical Simenon character - a man broken by the events of his life who is barely floating through whatever remains of his time on earth. A bizarre vision propels him to write a journal that is really a lengthy suicide note. What follows is the delicate and deliberate reconstruction of a man's life.
Poignant, disturbing, but never depressing. And highly recommended.
