A literary and historical legacy of 67 dogs breeds covering the legend and lore of our best friend. From Afghan to Yorkie, the stories in this book are surprising, funny, touching, and philosophical and they go back to the dog who plugged the hole in Noah’s Ark, the dog who hid under the skirt of Mary Queen of Scots at her beheading, and to the mythological dog that walked the decks of the Titanic and saved his master from drowning.
