Calling all dog-lovers: On Dogs collects essays about man's best
friend by Charles Dickens, Vita Sackville-West, Brigitte Bardot, and
Shakespeare, among others, with an introduction by acclaimed actor,
comedian, and adopter of strays Tracey Ullman.
Dogs throughout history have enjoyed a special relationship with
humankind, and our favorite four-legged creatures continue to grow in
popularity. The writers and poets collected within this anthology
reflect on the joys and pitfalls of dog ownership with brilliant wit,
insight, and affection. With a heartfelt and humorous introduction by
Tracey Ullman (an inveterate adopter of strays), this illustrated
anthology traces the canine's extraordinary journey from working animal
to pampered pet. Features six black-and-white dog photographs by
acclaimed reportage and portrait photographer Rhian Ap Gruffydd
(Gruffpawtraits).
