    About this ebook

    Almost everyone likes dogs, even those who prefer cats as pets. So it's not surprising that writers have devoted a great deal of verbiage indeed to describe their ongoing love affair with the canine breed. You'll find herein all kinds of tales focusing on dogs: science fiction stories, mysteries, horror tales, westerns, memoirs, humorous accounts, and first-person doggie narratives. There are well-known pieces by writers such as Jack London, James Oliver Curwood, Washington Irving, Saki, E. C. Tubb, John Gregory Betancourt, Robert Hood, and Jack Dann--and stories by authors who are relatively unknown today.


    Here are twenty-five marvelous tales of dogs and their interactions with humans, plus five bonus poems:

    "The Call of the Wild," by Jack London

    "My Friend Bobby," by Alan E. Nourse

    "Neb," by Robert Reginald

    "My Friend," by Anonymous [poem]

    "Kerfol," by Edith Wharton

    "The Monster," by S. M. Tenneshaw

    "Tinker," by E. Nesbit

    "Phantom Dogs," by Elliott O'Donnell

    "The Dogs of Hannoie," by E. C. Tubb

    "Warlock," by Gordon Stables [poem]

    "Spaniel and Newfoundland Dogs," by Edward Jesse

    "A Dog of Flanders," by Ouida

    "Guard Dog," by Robert Hood

    "Rip Van Winkle," by Washington Irving

    "Stories of Dog Sagacity," by W. H. G. Kingston

    "The Best Friend," by Meribah Philbrick Abbott [poem]

    "Grab a Knife and Save a Life," by Mark E. Burgess
