Marcus Walker was just another young commodities trader in Chicago - until he was attacked and tossed aboard a starship bound for deep space. Instead of being a rich upshot at the top of the food chain, Walker discovers he's just another amusing novelty, part of a cargo of "cute" aliens from primitive planets destined to be sold as pets to highly advanced populations in "civilized" regions of the galaxy. Any other man might resign himself to the inevitable and hope to be sold to a kind owner, but not Walker. This former college football star has plenty of American ingenuity and no intention of admitting defeat, now or ever. In fact, he's only just begun to fight.

Not a bad read, very engaging. Guess in the realms of fantasy and sci-fi you get extreme caricatures of humanity, that would be offensive and politically incorrect if you tag it to a human, but not to other non-human (dog, K'eremu or Tuuqalian) :D
Hopefully the 2nd book will come out soon.
