This utterly charming book, first published in 1893, collects more than 200 poems celebrating our faithful canine companions as they hunt, romp, chew, and wait patiently for their master's voice. Including work by greats - Byron,
Chaucer, Shakespeare, Browning - and lesser-known British poets through the end of the 19th century, this heartfelt anthology includes scholarly notes on the poems as well as delightful touches such as indexes of the poems by dog breed (fox hound, poodle, retriever) and the dog's name (Nina, Oscar, Snowball,Trouncer, and Wag).
