Earth's Gone to the Dogs!

"Earth's Gone to the Dogs!" by William J. McClellan is a science fiction tale unfolding in a world scarred by atomic war, focusing on evolution and the explosive consequences of unearthing hidden truths. The narrative follows Commissioner Ruskin, abruptly pulled from his vacation by an archeologist's astounding find: ancient books suggesting dogs, not humans, were once the dominant species. As Ruskin wrestles with the implications of this knowledge, he confronts the potential chaos it could unleash on a society built on human superiority. Ultimately, wielding his authority, Ruskin makes a pivotal decision to bury the revelation, prioritizing the perceived stability of society over the unsettling truth of the past, revealing how those in power can control narratives to protect the established order.
