Description: A unique collection of extraordinary, touching, and sometimes bizarre but true stories that tap into the British passion for dogs, covering sporting dogs (and hounds) military mascots, eccentric companions, war heroes and Royal dogs. Many of the best and most intriguing stories, which date back to the early nineteenth Century, have been discovered in long-forgotten books and magazines, but all reflect our enduring passion for man's best friend.
