Synopsis

Every dog has a story. Some are funny, some are sad, some wise, some rousing and some comfortingly ordinary. But they all have one thing in common-they're of interest to every dog owner. Assembled by John R.F. Breen, editor of the recent Who's Who of Cats,Who's Who of Dogs presents hundreds of great dog stories. Like bite-size Jack London adventures or Travels with Charley in thumbnail, they're compulsively readable miniatures, page after page offering the promise of a new tale.

About this title

About the Author

John R. F. Breen is a pet lover from Durham, North Carolina, who one day got the funny idea of compiling a Who's Who of animals. "My family thought it was a crazy idea," he told The Denver Post, but he now works full time on the project, which is updated annually. He is the author of Who's Who of Dogs and Who's Who of Cats.

From the Back Cover

THE DOG WHO ASSISTED IN 72 FELONY ARRESTS, AND OTHER GREAT STORIES.

Thumbnail adventures and bite-sized biographies. One-paragraph sagas and yarns in miniature. And dogs, dogs, dogs. On each page of this obsessively readable collection there's a new story and a new hero. Like fishing guide Miss Kiwi Ward, who barks when the bobber bobs, then hangs over the side of the boat to help pull in the catch. Or psychic puppie Ollie Leonardsson: Owners let him choose his own name out of a hat, and months later discovered that Ollie was also his father's name. It's a dog's life. And what lives they are.

Reviews

Succinct, one-paragraph descriptions of people's favorite pets fill this photo album. Brimming with affection, the book can hardly contain dog lovers' reports on the favorite antics, acts of heroism, acting careers, and goofy stunts pulled by their full and mixed-breed canines. Each pet is simply cited in alphabetical order by name. Breed, age, and home city and state are also noted. A companion to Who's Who of Cats (1994). Denise Perry Donavin
