From the Publisher:
"Five Paws: History classes were never this interesting. In General Howe's Dog, Caroline Tiger presents a slice of America's past, taking the reader back in time to the Revolutionary War. She chronicles the lives of George Washington and Willam Howe and how each rose through military ranks. One became an American General and the other a British General, fighting on opposite sides but each gentleman - and they were certainly gentlemen - had a deep and abiding love of dogs. Their paths cross during the war and in one little known episode, General Howe's dog gets separated from Howe and is found by Washington. The stray is wearing an inscribed collar identifying him as belonging to the British General. Washington returns the dog to Howe, along with a polite letter to his enemy. They may be at war but they maintain their civility and humanity. What might have been just an obscure footnote in history becomes a vibrant story, alive with detail of the times and the people. A must read." - Darlene Arden, Animal Radio 7/28/05
