This fictional work is written in 1st person by the dog himself. It's a cute story of the adventures in the life of a noble dog who is appropriately named, Job. The canine society in which he lives is an interesting parallel to human society. (Summary by Allyson Hester)
Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): Standard
IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project will be opened up to a group project as soon as a Book Coordinator can be found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to have it re-instated).
=========================================== MAGIC WINDOW:
The reader will record the following at the beginning and end of each file:
No more than 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the recording!

If you wish, say: "Recording by [Allyson Hester]"
Say: "[The Adventures of a Dog, and a Good Dog, Too], by [Alfred Elwes]. [Chapter]"

Section 2 is up and ready for PL!
Barry, let me know if my ID tags are wrong. There are no "chapters" in this book, and the sections seem pretty small, so I've planned to combine two sections into one recorded section. Rather than labeling the section title as the id tag (since technically there are 2 titles per section), I'm using the section #. Let me know if that works ok or if you'd rather I do it differently. Thanks!

The ID tags as you have done them are fine; that will work.
In the last recording, you say "Section 2" at the beginning and "End of Section 1" at the end which is the confusion caused by having a Section 0 and the MW not having that (which would actually be kind of nice). So just need to fix the beginning of that and it is good to go.

Hey Barry! Section 3 is up and ready for PL! I think I may finish WAY before my proposed finish date. I only have a couple more sections to read, and with not much planned for tonight, I may just finish it up! I also think I asked you for 1 too many sections. Sorry about that!

Section 4 up too. No rush. Sorry to cram all of these on you tonight! I start back to work Tuesday after a nice long break, and I'm just on a roll. This is a cute story. Ally
