does richard adams change the final of plague dogs

Обзор от ИИ
Yes, Richard Adams did change the ending of "The Plague Dogs". In the original version, the dogs drown after swimming out to sea, a bleak and tragic ending. However, due to the publisher's and others' influence, Adams altered the ending to a more hopeful one where the dogs are rescued. The published version of the book features a happy ending where Snitter and Rowf are rescued by naturalists and reunited with Snitter's former master.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Original Ending (as envisioned by Adams):
The dogs, hunted by humans and pursued to the sea, swim out into the water. They are last seen enveloped in a mist, with their fate uncertain, but with the implication of drowning.
Published Ending:
The dogs are spotted by a boat, and rescued by Sir Peter Scott and Ronald Lockley, who happen to be in the area. They are then reunited with Snitter's former master.
Reason for Change:
Adams' editor and others felt the original ending was too bleak and upsetting for readers. They convinced him to create a more optimistic conclusion.

The film adaptation, however, returns to Adams' original vision of a tragic ending.
