My Author & Pet Pairings
The idea for this post actually came to me while working on our Jules Verne feature awhile ago. I couldn’t help but think that his beard reminded me of a terrier’s chin.
My quirky mind went from there, matching authors with what I thought would be (or would have been) a suitable pet for them – based on appearance alone, of course.
So here you go, some of my author/pet pairings:
  Jules Verne & Scottish Terrier |
  Agatha Christie & Pug Dog |
  Walt Whitman & Old English Sheepdog |
  Daphne du Maurier & Persian Cat |
  Dashiell Hammett & Partridge Cochin Hen |
  Malcolm Gladwell & Bichon Frise |
  J.K. Rowling & Afghan Hound |
  Herta Muller & Aye Aye Lemur |
Hahahaha! Kath, I love this blog post. Dashiell Hammett looks so much like that chicken! And good job choosing the photos of the authors that most looked like the pet choices, too.
..but if Agatha Christie weren’t deceased, I think you might be in trouble. ;)
ok, I couldn’t help it. Take it off if you must.
….can’t…stop….giggling….
Ha ha! I think your Herta Muller & Aye Aye Lemur pairing is a bit more daring than my Agatha Christie one. At least the pug is cute!! :)
Ok, I’m snort laughing through this entire piece. Seriously funny. Well done!
Hehe, realy? Why my comment was removed? I really like Aye Aye Lemur!
Anyway.. remove this one too….
