This anthology is ideal for those who believe that the dog is man's best friend: six hundred years of reflections on the virtues (and some of the vices) of the canine world. Within these pages, you will find a wide variety of animals and an even greater variety of poets, from those who are large and cuddly to the small but sharp-toothed ones. Despina Ioulia Burner analyzes a good greyhound, Lord Byron mourns his best friend, Louis MacNeice describes an afternoon walk, William Wordsworth watches the hunt, Thomas Hardy imagines his beloved companion speaking. Along with them are others like Anne Sexton, Siegfried Sassoon, Alexander Pope, Rudyard Kipling, Dorothy Parker, Geoffrey Chaucer, and a host of others chasing the same essence: the essence of the dog.
