Man's best friend. The dog has been our companion both as a worker and friend for thousands of years. It occupies a special and unique place in our society, in most cases far removed from the original purpose intended. In this volume our wordsmiths, from Kipling to Browning, from Swift to Byron, Wordsworth and Chesterton and many others take time to write down their thoughts and musings on this most loyal and trusted of animals.
