The unforgettable canines gathered here include Kipling's heroically faithful 'Garm', Bret Harte's irrepressible scoundrel of a 'yaller dog' and the aggressively affectionate three-legged pit bull who lives in a block of flats for dogs in Jonathan Lethem's 'Ava's Apartment'. Here are stories which touchingly illuminate the dog's role in the emotional lives of humans, such as Tobias Wolff's 'Her Dog', where a widower shares his grief for his wife with her grieving pet. Here, too, are humorous glimpses of the canine point of view, from O. Henry's tale of a dissatisfied lapdog's escape to P. G. Wodehouse's cheerfully naïve watchdog who simply wants everybody to get along. These writers and others - Ray Bradbury, JamesThurber and Penelope Lively among them - offer imaginative, lyrical and empathetic portraits of man and woman's most devoted companion

Book Description:
"Twenty tales of man and devoted beast, from James Thurber's 'Josephine Has Her Day, ' in which a persnickety couple come to see their mutt's overpowering attraction, to Tobias Wolff's 'Her Dog, ' Lydia Millet's 'Sir Henry' and Rudyard Kipling's 'Garm, ' possibly one of the greatest love stories ever told--about the bond between a soldier and his dog." -The New York Times
"An entertaining pack of canine-themed short stories ranging from the 19th century to the present day. . . . Editor Tesdell takes pains to avoid the hoariest doggie clichés. . . . A charming assortment of stories that give the species the respect it deserves." -Kirkus Reviews "Enjoyable. . . . With some exceptions, the dogs in these stories show human beings to disadvantage." --Boston GlobeThis anthology rounds up a pack of vivid and colourful stories about man's best friend by a wide range of writers from Chekhov, Chesterton and Kafka to Patricia Highsmith and Doris Lessing.
