Great American Dog Stories features nineteen classic short stories about man's (and woman's) best friend. Jack London writes a heartbreaking story about a dog's natural proclivity for home. Mark Twain spins a tale from a dog's perspective, written in the wandering, colloquial voice that seems so typical of the excitable creatures. Sarah Knowles Bolton's chronicle of a dog's life exemplifies how anchored pets are to their owners. This endearing collection featuring some of American literature's greatest scribes skillfully illuminates our heartfelt connection to our four-legged companions.
