Publication history
The Stray Dog was first published by the Bazargani Nejat publication in Tehran in 1942. It consists of eight short stories and is Sadegh Hedayat's last short story collection. The exact writing time of these short stories is unknown today, however based on what Hadayat had written in his letters, it is believed that most of these short stories had been written before 1942. Before 1942, Hedayat wasn't able to publish anything, because of Reza Shah's censorship system. After the abdication of Reza Shah in 1941, it was the best time for Hedayat to publish his writings.[1][2]

Style
"The Stray Dog", "Dead End", and "Dark Room" are among those works by Hedayat that use realistic techniques in presenting a psycho-fictional story.[3]
"Abunasr Rock" reflects Hedayat's interest both in ancient Iranian culture and in occult and spiritual phenomena.[4] "The Patriot" can be categorized as a satirical fiction.[3]
