The Wonderful World of Dogs

 

Funny, sad, warm, and wise, this collection of 100 remarkable true stories from around the globe will capture the heart of any dog lover with its demonstrations of canines' loyalty, wicked sense of humor, and endless appetite for adventure and mischief—and food. Tiny dogs, big dogs, shaggy dogs, smooth dogs, naughty dogs, good dogs, brave dogs, silly dogs, guide dogs, therapy dogs, and even a dog who is an honorary U.S. Army sergeant—man's best friend comes in all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. In this beautifully illustrated little book, those who are lucky enough to be owned by a dog share moving stories about the love, loyalty, and at times extraordinary bravery, courage, and acts of sacrifice they have witnessed from the dogs in their lives.
