Playwright, humorist Mark St. Germain reads selections from his new book, "Walking Evil- How man's best friend became man's worst enemy" WALKING EVIL: How man's best friend became man's worst enemy Was she a dog or a demon? Her name was Evie but she soon answered to Evil and drove her 'master' to seek help from dog trainers, psychics, human and animal shrinks and even consult a priest about exorcism. If you ever had an impossible pet, Mark St. Germain will help you laugh while you suffer. Evil could chew through hotel doors, eat car seats, escape any cage and edit the author’s work by shredding it.
